Not a blip. Sounds like new. Unusual matrices - UAK 30222 A-6U ‘A PORKY CUT’ and UAK 30222 B-4U ‘MIXER ROOM’. COVER VG+As it’s predominantly white on the front, it shows up a little bit of dirt, with the top of the spine a little bent. The back shows up much better.

You bet it was. And so much more. For the first time in 40 odd years I actually sat and truly listened to this. First decision White / Black / White / Black. It doesn’t matter, sadly not everyone has got there yet (see subtle huh?). But what is unmistakable about this is the quality of each track. Blowing me away before I’d even got comfortable, ‘Threatened’ is such a great track. And there are elements of each track that are very clever. Underpinned by Dave Greenfields electronics and JJ’s bass lines, quite an unusual combo to the mainstay of any band, each track is well worth a listen and together form an excellent representation of yes, a punk ‘band’, but one which had a lot more talent than many.

This will never be worth much but put aside your thoughts of discovering a nugget of gold, and if this isn’t in your collection, snap it up as not only is it a fabulous representation of the musical genre around at the end of the 70’s, its simple a fabulous LP from any era.
