FEEL LIKE I'm FIXIN' TO DIE





NME Mail-order LP, 1988


Conceived & compiled by Roy Carr & Bob Fisher


Catalogue number NME NAM1





Between 1982 and 1988, the New Musical Express released a series of cassette tapes, CDs, vinyl albums and EPs. With the exception of the EPs, which were given away free with the magazine, these releases were usually only available by collecting coupons in the magazine and sending off a cheque to a mail-order address. Many of the releases, such as the C81 and C86 tapes, were compilations of contemporary indie music, but others, such as Hit The Road Stax, Pogo A Go-Go and We Have Come For Your Children, were themed archive collections. One such themed compilation was the NME's collection of Vietnam songs, Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die, presented here.





As well as the protest songs you'd expect, from the likes of Country Joe and Phil Ochs, there are many songs here praising the war effort and having a go at those long-haired types who'd burnt their draft cards and marched in protest. The music's pretty varied too, with country, soul, psychedelia and blues vying for attention with the just plain weird (hello Victor Lundberg). An excellent collection, and a great shame its not better known.
