Blubberknife
Blubberknife is the third studio album released by the Australian experimental group Severed Heads, originally as a C90 cassette tape. It's the first album by the group to feature contributions by Stephen Jones, and it is also the first recording by the group to catch the attention of Ink Records, who helped release Since the Accident a year later.[1] As with most of their discography, Blubberknife has been reissued several times.
