Reviews & Discussion
Excellent piece, full of the tristesse which lasted over britain in the end of the 70's, beginning of the 80's. It ain't the right record to hear if you are depressive, but else it is wonderful. FYI: this was one of the last records from Industrial which could be ordered as an original copy still in the 90's through Chris & Cosey's mailorder.
