  • Neo-hippie drek.

  • nice to see the comments i bought this from rough trade when it was a record shop!

  • I had this many years ago, seems they are worth a lot these days, still sounds great, I cant believe there are two idiots who dont like this.

  • @Jlipnicki Maybe some rich kids did, but don't put us all in the same boat. Bands like The Different Eyes & Royston didn't have a pot to piss in in those days & came from poor council estates.

  • @Jlipnicki it was at the time very raw released through rough trade they may have been slightly arty farty but i loved them i bought scritti first ep but out of four tracks one was a gem! gang of four were very simular(quote) but at the time it only cost between 50 p and and 70 p to buy vynyl the computter world has allowed us to listen to stuff we loved and payed money for! nowdays artists have it easy if they are good we post it! thank fuck for the tinternet! loves ya all

  • I wish the has-been members of the Desperate Bicycles'd agree on re-issues of the music they made. Although I can reason rather well as to why they don't, and that's part of their charm, I believe. Really great pop-tones there.

  • @brandoncipelle But WAIT-- Have you practiced 12 hours a day for ten years yet??

  • this band inspired me to start a band . Sure we don't sound so "great" . I just love the fact I can make my own sounding music.

  • As with the more famous Scritti Politti it still cost @£800 to do this then and that was enough to buy a terraced house in parts of east London. These guys were not ordinary ( poor term, but you know what I mean ) folks. Green sang in an approximation of Estuary English early doors, not saying no talent, but the people that made these DIY records were, as always, middle class temporary refugees who traded under false names. 'Tom' in Scritti was Sebastian, 'Green' had a double barreled surname.

  • Don't just praise the band, make your own music!
