Personnel
Extracted from the "Julian Cope all purpose mythological mind map of the Marlborough Downs & surrounding area" included as the album insert:
- Julian H sung the songs & furnished the wa-guitars, also Mellotrons (400 and Mark II) & vibrated the bass guitar
- Thighpaulsandra glamorously smeared ARP & VCS3 synthesizers all over, wrote all the string orchestrations, pouted piano & preened vocals, then casually blew off the Classic organ solo at the end of Since I Lost My Head... Like he's had more weddings than Liz Taylor.
- Flinton Chalk AKA Sid Mooneye (Spiritualized) did it with the Lead guitars & vocals on Spacerock with me, Battle for the Trees, I've got my TV and my Pills, Maid of Constant Sorrow & Re-directed Male.
- Rooster Mark Cosby (Synus) was the drummer & cymbalist throughout these sessions except when:
- Stee-Vroom Ferrera drummed his own mighty thang on Planetary Sit-in, Since I Lost My My Head, It's Awl-Right, The Loveboat & I Come From Another Planet, Baby.
- Doggen (TC Lethbridge) wailed like Edward Van Gottsching throughout the AMBULENCE & RADIO SIT-IN sessions, and has had squeaky boots ever since.
- Mavis Grind spoke the treasured words of hope on The Loveboat.
- Lynn Davis of CUMRY sung the outrageous Diva vocals on s.pa.c.e.r.o.c.k With Me and left session wanting to be a rock'n'roll star. Thanks to our darling Henrietta Bredin for scouring the opera world for such a Keltic Goddess.
- Jody Evans (Anal/E. Wrecked) played the piano at the end of Dust unaware that he was being recorded.
- Raymond Lovesong crooned the drunken sax on the end of TheLoveboat, and hit the high-note trumpets on Planetary Sit-In.
- Merrick Godhaven & O.K Simon chanted vocals and daubed Thang all over Re-directed Male.
- Craig J. Stratton, EOS Counsel, Jason Glover & Amanda Tomlinson were the string players on Planetary Sit-In, Battle for the Trees, Since I Lost My Head & Arthur..
- Martin Schellard – conductor
