![Peter Hammill, Birthday Special (1975)
From the L.P. Nadirs Big Chance.
Nadirs Big Chance was the fifth solo album by Peter Hammill, released on Charisma Records in 1975.
It was recorded shortly after a decision to re-form the band Van der Graaf Generator (of which Hammill was the singer and principal songwriter), and Nadirs Big Chance is actually performed by the reformed Van der Graaf Generator line-up.
The albums songs vary greatly in style, as acknowledged by Hammill in the sleeve notes, which refer to the beefy punk songs, the weepy ballads, the soul struts. It is indeed notable for its prototype punk rock style on several tracks. The first British citation of the word punk in relation to music in the Oxford English Dictionary is dated January 1976 (citations from the USA date from 1971), yet Nadirs Big Chance was released in February 1975. Hammill can therefore lay claim to being the first British musician to use the term in his albums sleeve notes.
In a 1977 Capital Radio broadcast, John Lydon of the Sex Pistols played two tracks from the album, The Institute Of Mental Health, Burning and Nobodys Business, and expressed his admiration for Hammill.[4]
The album includes two of Hammills most frequently performed ballads, Been Alone So Long (written by Judge Smith) and Shingle Song, and a reworking of Van der Graaf Generators first single from 1968, People You Were Going To.
The album saw Hammills first use of the Hohner clavinet D6 keyboard, which would go on to feature prominently on the next few Van der Graaf Generator albums (particularly Godbluff).
In the song Pushing Thirty (from The Future Now, 1978), Hammill claims that he still can be Nadir. The Rikki Nadir persona returned in 1979, when Hammill released a single titled The Polaroid under the name.
