==================
from wiki:
Euroman Cometh is the 1979 debut solo album by The Stranglers' bassist J. J. Burnel. Musically, it was an attempt at incorporating electronic sounds into rock. Lyrically, it evolved around the idea of United States of Europe, in the Cold war context. "A Europe riddled with american values and soviet subversion is a diseased sycophantic old whore: a Europe strong, united and independent is a child of the future." states JJ Burnel in the inner sleeve.
Guest musicians were Peter Howells of The Drones (drums on tracks 3,5,6), track 9 featured Brian James of The Damned (guitar), Lew Lewis (harmonica) and Carey Fortune of Chelsea (drums). All other instruments were played by Burnel himself.
The album reached number 40 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1979. The track "Freddie Laker" was released as a single on 13 April 1979, backed with the non-album track "Ozymandias".
Printed on the sleeve is a tribute to the Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative that manufactured Triumph motorcycles from 1976-83. The tribute reads, "The Triumph Workers Co-operative at Meriden have proved that personally motivated enterprise coupled with group interest is a necessary ingredient in successful socialism and the sham they call national socialism could only be suggested and perpetrated by enemies of the people". Burnel's 750cc Triumph Bonneville T140, manufactured by the Meriden Co-operative, revs its engine during the track Triumph (Of The Good City).
