SPACEMEN 3 is a Psychedelic/Space Rock / Progressive Rock artist from United. LP: SPACEMEN 3 - Recurring NEW SEALED REISSUE + download, USD. Forged Prescriptions is a collection of alternative mixes, demo versions, and outtakes from Spacemen 3's Perfect Prescription era. Not only is it a boon to die-hard fans, but it also holds up pretty well on its own. Indeed, it would be a decent introduction to the band if it had been whittled down from a double to a single album. The relatively cohesive first disc is almost an alternate version of Perfect Prescription, while the second disc is more of an odds and sods collection for fans. The alternate mixes tend to feature overdubs and other effects that the band couldn't reproduce live (supposedly the reason why these mixes weren't chosen for Perfect Prescription). The layers of guitar on the first disc's 'Things'll Never Be the Same,' which manage to sound simultaneously hypnotic and hard-driven, are particularly appealing, although some may prefer the rougher-sounding demo of the song on disc two. Forged Prescriptions also includes two versions each of 'Walking With Jesus' and 'Come Down Easy.' The cover versions include songs by the Red Krayola (an alternate mix of 'Transparent Radiation') and Roky Erickson's pre-13th Floor Elevators band, the Spades (a previously unreleased cover of 'We Sell Souls'), as well as a couple songs previously revised by MC5 (Sun Ra's 'Starship' and the Troggs' 'I Want You'). The influence of the Velvet Underground is also evident, particularly in the tribute instrumental (the previously unreleased 'Velvet Jam') and the ode to Lou Reed's 'Street Hassle' ('Ode to Street Hassle'). Plus there are tasty remixes of Perfect Prescription originals such as 'Ecstasy Symphony' and 'Soul 1' to make this a generally appealing collection. ~ Todd Kristel.

I bought my first album (Recurring) at the age of 12, and I've been listening to them ever since, I love that their recorded output is so messy. Only four original studio albums, but many more re-issues, live albums, demos.not to mention the non album singles, B-Sides and E.P.' I wanted to re-imagine 'Perfect Prescription', and fashion an alternate second album from 1987. So it goes like this: 01. Take Me to the Other Side - Single version. Walkin' with Jesus 03. ![]() ![]() Ode to Street Hassle - 'Perfect Prescription' album versions. Things'll Never Be the Same - Alternate version from 'Forged Prescriptions'. Ecstasy Symphony 06. Transparent Radiation - It has to be the extended E.P. Starship - A live staple not included on 'Perfect Prescription', this demo beats the 'Transparent Radiation' version. Soul 1 - B-Side from 'Take Me to the Other Side' single. Come Down Easy - Demo version from 'Forged Prescriptions'. Feel So Good - B-Side from 'Take Me to the Other Side' single. Call the Doctor - 'Perfect Prescription' album version. I Want You Right Now - This instrumental jam comes from 'Forged Prescriptions'. So, if you're familiar, you already know it's good.
