      I appreciate the comment regarding the Disk Union box. I actually bought one of these from Disk Union in Japan and it came packaged with all three releases in it, and there is more room that was filled with padding. I've been wondering for ages wondering what to do about it from a Discogs perspective. I'll attach some photos to this entry for those interested. So in my case I actually did buy it as a 3 disc box set of all Birdsong ACR releases from Japan. And a lovely thing it is too. For serious Factory/ACR collectors only, mind. It wasn't cheap, but you do get those unique live tracks not available elsewhere.

          I just spun this to check playability as I currently have it up for sale, but I like it a lot and am considering pulling it off the store. I remember hearing this band on college radio more than 30 years ago but I didn't really know them well. Revisiting it all these years later, it stands out from most everything else. The obvious comparison to Joy Division doesn't do more than give a general point of reference. Personally, this record is more listenable than JD, which is why I think it's gonna stay in my collection for now. I recommend it. At least give it a listen, don't pass it by. It's not often I say this.

            This is one of the worst sounding reissues I have. You’d think 45 rpm would be a benefit but the overall mastering is muddy and dull. Suggest you pick up an original pressing which is not much more than this RE.

              Bleak and minimalistic. Joy Division meets Disciplina Kičme. For example...

                  Joy division in funk sauce. Or if u prefer, Sly and the Family Stone in a Martin Hannet studio. The result is very interesting, probably ahed of the time when it was published. The massive use of funk bass lines is the mark of this LP in a very gloomy atmosphere. Definetely something to hold if you like late 70's early 80's New Wave.

                        When I hear the drone of the final song from "To Each", Winter Hill, it kick my head in with its beat,Yes, I know that I'm on my way into another brilliant release from Manchester's A Certain Ratio....Martin Hannett once again sets the scene behind the board as he did oh so well from some of those other Factory geezers. At times reminiscent of Talking Heads, John Cale, and fellow factory stalwarts, Crispy Ambulance & JD but truly inventing a sound of their own. Too bad that this band drifted out of experimental and into salsa rock. I wish they'd cut an LP with Vini Reilly.

                        "Choir" is a highlight on side A but Winter Hill is a masterstroke....
