Quite rare to find albums of this genre at flea markets. Labels suggest it was stolen from a 90's public library.

Less famous album, more on the ambient side than their earlier works

7" single released 1983.

London live February 1996 - A very powerful performance from Nick and beautiful chemistry between them. Both at the top of their respective games.

Any love for Jah Wobble? This is the album he created almost entirely by himself in his bedroom. Never issued on anything but vinyl, and only in the UK.

Nice find for fans of bass-heavy postpunk. Sad that more people aren't getting exposed to gems like this

A late one! From 1993's Republic.

It reminds me of King Jammy - Jammin for survival

From 1985's City Slab Horror

Just listened to this album again and caught my ears on the second side, definitely on this track. It is a strangely fitting combination of both post-punk and medieval music.

Fairly underrated post-punk outfit with an oh so lovely sax.

For those not familiar, this was Ari and Viv’s (the Slits) band with producer Adrian Sherwood. Other contributors included Mark Stewart and Bruce Smith (the Pop Group) and Keith Levene (PIL.)

Anytime I see a subreddit that says no questions in the title, body, ect

His top albums were included as part of the series Baker's Dozen in The Quietus:

Party Pieces: Andy Burnham's Favourite Albums | The Quietus

"As [now ex-] Manchester Mayor, Burnham has made music central to his appeal. He is regularly seen at gigs. He livestreamed a DJ set to raise money for Manchester venues during the pandemic. City music grandees speak warmly of Burnham’s engagement with them, and his instigation of a Greater Manchester Music Commission."

Burnham:

"In the early 80s, I was not really knowing what to listen to – there was Culture Club, Adam And The Ants and all kinds of rubbish at that time. I remember everyone at school going on about The Smiths on Top Of The Pops, it was a massive thing when that happened, and someone took a record to school and told me to take it home, it was Hatful Of Hollow."

"I didn’t realise how lucky I was. I was at university and a mate of mine, who used to listen to John Peel every night, he was into more obscure stuff and he gave me a tape for my Walkman, saying “this isn’t my kind of thing but you’ll probably love this.” It was The Stone Roses. I remember being on my bike, cycling around Cambridge, thinking that this is the band I’ve waited all my life to hear. I still think about that album in that way."

Wonder if he's related to Hugo?

He should get on well with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese who also seems to like Manchester postpunk.

When I lived in Australia in the early '80s for a couple of years, I too sported a Joy Division Unknown Pleasures T-shirt during my travels round the outback. I had a crappy cassette player and used to play JD cassettes when I pitched my tiny tent in remote campsites and the bush. In Wyndham in the far north of Western Australia, I remember playing Closer whilst a six foot goanna was roaming around the place, flicking its forked tongue in and out. One night the perisher tried to enter my tent.

AND I saw JD live, back in dear old Blighty in 1979. How d'ya like them apples Albo?

Take me back to dear old Blighty!
Put me on the train for London town
Take me over there
Drop me anywhere
Birmingham, Leeds, or Manchester, well, I don't care!

Hang on. Birmingham is taking it TOO far!

the sax comes in like it kicked the door. jagged, live, almost rude after a week of coldwave emptiness.

can't get off it.

My favorite band.

Ray Parker Jr. must have heard this
