Thoughts: Walking through the wind chimes of Hell. If you want to get fucked up, spin this.

Release info: Released on limited edition vinyl in 1981 (United Dairies / UD08, UK) and as a cassette remix in the same year (United Dairies / UDT08, UK). CD re-issues followed, including a handmade limited- and numbered-edition CD (UD08CD / RAASH01, USA), in the 21st century.

Thoughts: Wow. The B side is way better than the single. Zany! Like a lo-fi bastard of TMBG and Talking Heads.

Release info: Released on vinyl 7" in 1978 (Tidal Wave / TWR 101, USA).

Mary Monday and the Bitches are awesome though

Yeah, they're charming! This listening project is opening up my listening horizons in ways I never could have imagined. :)

Release info: Released on numbered edition vinyl in 1995 (Aeroplane / AR17, UK).

Thoughts: Ear-rape in five sophisticated movements. This is what the Rakdos guild makes their captive audiences listen to. Just when you think it's getting better, it gets worse. No one's going home!

Thoughts: Holy shit. Eight songs in six minutes! This is the premature ejaculation of punk, and they're not the least bit embarrassed by their lack of longevity.

Release info: Released on gatefold vinyl 7" in 1983 (n/a / n/a, USA), then re-issued on colored vinyl 7" in 2007.
