dave allen is a great bassplayer, i like the gang of four more but Shriekback is ok

[uofsc93]

if you have the extended or remixed version (from the 80's please none of that new GarageBand crap) - then post it!

[renta2ify]

very very hard to find vinyl.....

[uofsc93]

Why was there never an extended version released? That baseline is a monster.

[2nakey]

@kirbdog33 my old stomping ground too. Spit ruled.

This is what I call intelligent dance music. Too smart for dance floor sweaters, and too sweaty for would be intellectuals.

[AccyRed]

Can't quite believe they still sound as good as they did 30 years ago,long live Shriekback,one of the Uk's finest :)

[bogwoppit66]

I've got this! it was always my fav. i embroidered badges about this song. no one at school knew what i was on about!! not mainstream enough for them i guess. this sooo fantastic hear again after all these years.

[TheOBOM]

Yeah, jipy-kay-jay!!!! Great song, great baseline, makes you wanna dance!

[Amagansett1680]

No Guts, No Blood: No Brains At All (repeat 4X) My spine is the bassline, and the top line could be broken glass all amusing views of those better men dirty habits' hand on the purses' strings Quiet fear of the passing time gently magnify the dividing line all this history could be blown away on a breath of lust Trajectory, synchronicity, how the choice is made with a fresh resolve jamming tight up to the barrier down a string of nerves so these feelings go ...

[openuniverse2003]

@Amagansett1680 Thanks!

[thetreefort]

so gooooddddd !!!!

[MikeC2K10]

This is the same version that is on Natural History. 

[ChinoAlfonz]

This is horrible

[PatrickAlanMcL]

@ChinoAlfonz Don't talk foolish

[droopusmaximus]

@ChinoAlfonz Don't be silly. This ROCKED 80's clubs. I played the shit out of it, and at this speed.

[thefirefighter2011]

@droopusmaximus

are the band americans from either new yourk or L. A.?

[inversion66]

@thefirefighter2011

Shriekback were from the UK. Keyboardist Barry Andrews was an early member of XTC and Robert Fripp's League of Gentlemen while bassist Dave Allen was original bassist for Gang of Four. They formed Shriekback in 1981.

[mongoloidfred]

@ChinoAlfonz this is horrible, but kings of leon is ok?

[sketchmeister]

@ChinoAlfonz Get fucked. Simple as that!

[housydoing]

@ChinoAlfonz you obviously suck, and have no clue.

[ChinoAlfonz]

@housydoing Awww. Is fan boy # 1 upset? lol Just my opinion, what the hell do you care?

[PuppyBrap]

@ChinoAlfonz I am SOOOO afraid to look at your LP, Cassette, CD collection. OH the HORROR!!!!!!

[AYearZero]

Features on the new compilation album 'Bustin Out 1982', part of the New Wave to New Beat series - out on Year Zero. Check it out!

[hjkjkgfhhplkkk]

Totally agree with motionmuzik - I have the vinyl form early 80's and the speed is spot on

[4bibimimi]

They'd played this much faster live. It's better throbbing. It's meant to go thru u not over u.

[droopusmaximus]

@4bibimimi I didn't. This worked with stuff like Liquid Liquid and Quando Quango just fine.

[scousercrags5]

this takes me back chilling in my bedroom beer,birds bonking happy days

[dregs1983]

acid long time ago

[vixapphire]

I have an old Canadian promo copy of this. This is proper tempo as I recall - right sleazy!

[thimble288]

@vixapphire I just found a promo copy too!

[motionmuzik]

MrDrum, this is the original pressing ;)

Original audio,

Original speed.

[MrDrumCoach]

Seems to be playing slower than intended?
