There is more bollocks written about the history of punk than possibly any other topic in the history of popular music largely no thanks to Malcolm. Punk as originated in the UK was borne out of terrible social conditions and utter boredom with glam...

I have the red / yellow split vinyl and it sounds fine to me. Heard plenty worse this year

A great record, that is flawless vinyl as well. After the last 3 concept albums, in which she presented as an adrogynous android, this is a straight out summer party album. Admittedly Janelle's tongue appears firmly in her cheek as she voices some of...

Just bought a copy of a Big Audio Dynamite 12" single at a second hand store and its this instead. Bizarre
|

First heard in a club nearly 40 years ago. Still makes the hairs stand to attention on the back of your neck, today

Mine is the splatter vinyl, but the front sticker says "Clear Vinyl" and has the Clear Vinyl barcode. Mispacked I guess. No CD
|
|
I know its all supposed to be an inpenetrable mystery who plays on these records other than Inflo, but if that's not Cleo Sol on vocals on "Glory", "The Circle" and "Higher" I would be very suprised indeed
|
|
They are available now, unless they've sold out already. Looks like Juno still has some for example
|
|
In what way is this an LP? Two remixes of the same soundtrack is an LP? An EP surely?
|
|
Just melting with Soul. Like Trinidadian Deep, its for people...who want to get deep

I agree that Wax Time get a bad press but the reissues I have are fine for mid - price. And this record sounds very good to my ears
|
|
I agree - some of the mid period, post Brix fare, passed me by a bit at the time, but this is very solid, and as you say, quite fun (for a Fall record). Recommended.

You're right there. The photo imagery looks pretty amateurish to me
|
|
Indeed it is. Hilarious and it should be read by anyone interested in punk.

|
Didnt realise it at the time, but The Selecter were actually the toughest of the Two Tone roster
|
|
Yes its a homage to Shop Assistants but its a work of genius in its own right
|
|
Translucent purple, so looks nice. What "virgin vinyl" is supposed to be, I have no idea. And the sound quality is dire - the Kind of Blue sides in particular don't so much pop and click as hiss and bang. Plus it sounds like it was recorded in a...

Yes mine is terrible too. Especially the Kind of Blue sides. I mean, its Kind of Blue, its not hard to do right
|
|
|
Yes - mine is translucent purple as well. Not sure if all versions are
|
|
Although I remember the Motors first two albums well, I had no memory at all of this being released. A local record shop had it in the selection of "free records for people who spend more than $ xxx ". So I got it. And what a strange record it is; I...

Seems not all versions are red vinyl (mine isn't) and I am not sure that is a reissue either. Reissue of what?

Just bought a copy of the 7" EP (Free 9) that has turned an attractive mauve over time. I did buy it at a record shop; do you think the Rosslyn Park address will still want to "deal with them"?

Mine sounds fine to be fair. Perhaps a little flat but I am happy enough
|
|
What a backing band! Quite Stupendous. A really great record
|
|
I mean .. you can't go past "Beautiful Life" can you" Should have been global #1. Maybe it was?
|
|
Well... Paul Morley wasn't. He was an NME journalist and married to Claudia, the singer in Propaganda. He was brought in specifically to create an image for the group / project. Anne Dudley did most of the work its true - and also was responsible for...

oh my, after two releases I really like this series
|
|
|
I saw Robert Rental and The Normal on their 1979 tour with Stiff Little Fingers and I could have sworn there was more than two of them. Funny thing memory. Remember they were interesting though
|
|
a work of genius the more i play it the more i love it
|
|
|
|
That run of albums between 1972 - 74 Ethiopian Knights, Black Byrd, Street Lady, Places and Spaces - all are basically perfect

ok so i know all tracks have been released before but this is actually a very well sequenced record. It made me smile. Not much to smile about these days so that's a win
|
|
Very big fan of this. It has a dreamy, ethereal quality. God there's some good British jazz about...
|
|
Rebecca Vasmant isn't the vocalist. There are 4 vocalists on this, none of whom are her. For the record, I really liked the record
|
|
Wow. More than 30 skips and clicks over both sides. Astonishingly shit repress
|
|
This is what you call a grower. Late night, a bit chill, a bit dreamy, a bit pensive, a bit reflective. I've liked it better each time I've played it
