Beggar than the Beatless. Or something that way. No, really, I think Scritti Politti would've become something rather huge and quite eternal had Gartside allowed their brand of punk rock to develop and blossom.

They were really good before they turned to yuppie chic.

Meticulously arranged chaotic discord. Scritti certainly have had some laudable moments in their tenure, haven't they?

Wish I still had my original copy!
I met Green at some do or other in Leeds Poly in 1979/80 while i was an art student at the Uni up the road. I was tongue tied because I had bought this record and imagined him to be to clever to engage in small talk. He was a shy bloke, softly spoken and unusually good looking.
Love that spikey, figity sound and the attitude that went with it; that earnest, truth seeking time. The DIY punk ethos, the cheap to rent terraces now gone. Oh those days! tearful fade

Great track. As is all their early stuff. Thanks for posting this. I;d like to hear Mesthetics or Hedgemony again too. But I can't find them.
