Después de que Patrick Campbell-Lyons y Alex Spyropoulos disolvieran su sociedad, ambos tomaron caminos separados en la escena musical. Campbell-Lyons empezó a trabajar en las canciones de Local Anesthetic mientras atravesaba una serie de asuntos personales que terminaron reflejándose en el tono del álbum. Lo lanzó bajo el nombre de Nirvana en 1971, pero lo que tenemos aquí es algo totalmente diferente. Decidió romper con lo que había estado haciendo hasta ese momento y creó un álbum de rock progresivo experimental que encajaba perfectamente con el sello Vertigo a través del cual fue lanzado. Musicalmente, se ha comparado con «algo que podría haber hecho Frank Zappa». No se inspiró en Zappa, pero ciertamente exploró límites similares a los que pudo haber hecho él en sus obras, alejándose a menudo de esa sensibilidad pop que había caracterizado las salidas anteriores de Nirvana. Una pieza sonora única en su catálogo.
Y aunque estando tan lejos de lo que fue el sonido de Nirvana, aquí tenemos otro excelente LP que se ha convertido en una pieza muy buscada entre los coleccionistas. Es la primera reedición oficial en vinilo desde 1971. ¡Solo 500 copias!
 
ENGLISH:
After Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos dissolved their partnership, they both went separate ways in the music scene. Campbell-Lyons began work on the Local Anaesthetic songs while going through a series of personal matters which ended up being reflected in the tone of the album. He did release it under the Nirvana name in 1971, but what we have here is a totally different thing. He decided to break with what had been doing up to that moment, and came up with an experimental progressive rock album that was perfectly suited for the Vertigo label through which it was released. Musically, it has been compared to "something Frank Zappa could have done". It was not inspired by Zappa, but it certainly explored similar boundaries as he may have done in his works, often moving away from that pop sensitivity that had characterized Nirvana's previous outings. A unique sounding piece in their catalogue.

And although being so far from what was the Nirvana sound, we have another excellent LP here that has become a most sought after piece among collectors. Pianist/keyboardist Patrick Joseph "Pete" Kelly helped Campbell-Lyons complete the LP, which also featured collaborations by Jon Field, with whom Campbell-Lyons had the pre-Nirvana band Second Thoughts and who would later go to form The Tomcats, July and Jade Warrior - Jade Warrior's Tony Duhig had also played in Second Thoughts. Some brass arrangements are thrown in, but the orchestra is gone in favour of a harder free form, prog-rock sound.

The Wah Wah reissue is housed in the original gatefold sleeve and features one bonus track with the 1971 single version of TheSaddest Day Of My Life. It's the first ever official vinyl reissue since 1971. 500 copies only!
