The Hair And Skin Trading Co - Jo In Nine Hell - Cassette

Beggars Banquet Records

The Hair and Skin Trading Company is a United Kingdom drone / avant-noise group formed in 1991 by ex Loop members Neil Mackay (vocals/bass) and John Wills (drums). Joined by ex-Savage Opera guitarist Nigel Webb, they released their debut album Jo in Nine G Hell on Beggars Banquet in 1992. Their first two albums bear influences of My Bloody Valentine, and The Skids, while the vocal delivery can be compared to The Fall's Mark E Smith. By third album, 1995's Faust like Psychedelische Musique, The Hair and Skin Trading Company had dispensed with all conventional rock elements, and few of its songs bear titles; instead are denoted by letters or symbols.
