Gang of Four - Love Like Anthrax (Damaged Goods EP)

[lyonslaforet]

In 1979 Gang Of Four signed one of the most important albums of the year and a young Kurt Cobain was listening with a lot of attention!

@CrosbyiteBob:

My nanny had sex with Johnny Rotten....ooops - i see your channel is already closed ?

[ledrotten]

Great old song , brings me back to a great time....

[mtcjoseph]

This is like my favorite song of all time. really.

[MultiSmersh]

I fed on this bass riff for 10 years and then i fed on drums and after i ate. This is what happens when you live next a pylon. EEElectrickxs.

[banger61]

I just love this , I'm 50 and this only get better with age

[madphilgreenballs]

@banger61 agree. I'm 4 years behind you, but me and my mates still enjoy finding these gems. We were the expat kids and 1st gen NZ born kids who did whatever we could from the mid 70's to get hold of the emerging music. Believe me, it wasn't easy down there.

[ELGROOVER]

Any song that has a lyric beginning with...

♪♫ Woke up this morning

...is fine by me! ☺ ;-j

[corneliuscaftan]

I have a nasty case of anthrax for this song

[isitme88]

Any idea what the words are in this version of King's monologue? Kind of difficult to isolate, but it's clearly different to both the "Entertainment!" and "Return the Gift" versions. Googling for "'Love Like Anthrax' lyrics" just returns the words to the "Entertainment!" version of "Anthrax".

[ELGROOVER]

To isitme88 ~ I believe it's Andy Gill doing the monologue, mostly describing the equipment they were using. I can't search it out either, so I've had a mad stab at it myself! ☺ ;-j

♪♫ We're using a soundcard with a 24 [? into ?] 16 track, with a parametric eq on every channel, it's a 16 track KD machine, [? a jk quad montrofield ?], like a beetle on its back, & a ATD, flanging, reverb, like a case of anthrax, with echo, taped echo, & [? forest ?] echo......

[ELGROOVER]

.......[??! i dunno ~ {and I try and press them ulcers, lol} wtf !??] Neumann AKD pair of mics, I said to myself, inconsiderate and can't wait, that's the first imposition, beetle on its back, and I don't want to talk about that, I don't want to talk I just want to get back to Carlisle, and she said, I don't have to do this, but I..got to. ♪♫

[isitme88]

@ELGROOVER Ugh, yeah, I meant Gill -- oops. Thanks a lot for the information; that's great.

[ELGROOVER]

To isitme88 ~ No worries, it's my pleasure ☺

Maybe someone who is knowledgeable of recording equipment can add to the feedback (kerrrraaannggssssccreeeeehooo­oowwwl) and clarify some of the [? my best guess ?] bits...

Anyhow, what an incredible number this is! I can't help but be obsessed with it from time to time, it's a freeking amazing piece!!! ☼ ;-j

[xyling]

Sweet! I had no idea that the EP was a different recording than Entertainment!

[therealsoulproduct]

Not just a Post-Punk classic, but a great artistic experiment too.

[bwilko7]

great drum and bass beat

[Biambled]

Post-Punk!

[akroofingspec]

Heard this when it first came out on the John Peel show, and i think its the best version!! Cheers John!! the memories will never fade..

[dambers1]

class intro

[dmgcat]

Appreciate the music I miss this band.

[seniorclapshishands]

I think I like album version slightly more because it's longer BUT the intro on this version is insane.

[TumbrelJockey]

One of the best intro's in all of rock

[RawwestHide]

HOLY SHIT this is ahead of it's time

[MrSKINFLICK]

.......rivals Hendrix.......

[KARMABRIGADE]

I actualy prefer this to the entertainment! version, anyone agree?

[oogie11]

@KARMABRIGADE Hmmm, well, I like the Entertaiment version....this version is pretty good too :)

[maclennan73]

absolutely mind bending, music doesn't get much better!!

[punkrockerRHCP80]

this is definately my favorite version of this song. GOF fucking rock

[guildwilly]

love the gang of four!!! Man in uniform...bread and roses!!!

[TheWayne555]

do you have the version off entertainment? lovely control of feedback,

[shasta723]

@TheWayne555 yeah the entertainment! version shits all over this

[maclennan73]

Blew me away when I bought Entertainment, what a way to finish an album, like nothing else.

[memoryserves]

So fucking good after all these years, nothing touches this !

[bbopmc]

thanks for the upload. love this track. first heard it on "Dogs In Space"

one of my favourite movies.

[cheetah7769]

samuraiinCfede,you make my life worth living.great songs!

[koenkoenkoenkoen]

This is great! thank you..

I hope im not asking to much but would it be possible to upload/or send the audio files of the ep somewere : )

[samuraiinCfede]

@koenkoenkoenkoen oh sorry, I didn't see your comment. Send me an inbox and tell me which thing works best for you!

[MrSKINFLICK]

@samuraiinCfede: Why did you fade out the end (i got the E.P.) ? Or is the drum solo at the end only on the LP ?

[samuraiinCfede]

@MrSKINFLICK um, it came like that when I downloaded it. It's from the Fast Product comp. that collected the first E.P. and was probably the best in sound quality I could find. There's a drum solo at the end? whahahahaah

[MrSKINFLICK]

@samuraiinCfede: It may be that the version with a longer drum fade out is on the LP - i was not certain and am too lazy to check it now. Anyway - thanks for the uploads + check my channel´s playlists "new wave etc" or "punk etc" for my collection of memories !

Best wishes from Germany !

[samuraiinCfede]

@MrSKINFLICK Ah, no problem man. I'll check your channel out :) long live the great music! Cheers from Colombia!

[soulstylist]

Thanks for uploading this rather rare version.

[samuraiinCfede]

@soulstylist No problem, you're welcome! Any rarity or request, please go ahead and tell me! :)
