(Dodgepot Records [Dodgepot 001], 1999) [UK]

A single-sided one song 7" from 1999 on Dodgepot Records [Dodgepot 001] by The Brothers Wat [pseudonym for the band Wat Tyler].

If he is not guilty then we apologise unreservedly but just in case he is, here is a song about him."

After a multi-year hiatus, moving across the country, and working ridiculous hours, a global pandemic, and all of that ... I'm back updating all of these dead links and going to try to share a few more records -- for anyone that cares, or happens upon this page by searching out any of this particular music. Grab it while it's hot !!
