Scritti Politti - Early 2 x vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) In 1978, in the great UK Punk explosion, there emerged a very interesting art/punk trio who combined skittery guitar and sort of Beefheartian tightness/looseness in the rhythm section.

Butler, Chris - Got It Togehter!

“Although Chargin Falls, Ohio-native musician, Chris Butler, is most known for his creating of the experimental new wave band The Waitresses, the Kent State University student (yes, he experienced the infamous Kent State shooting) was also actively involved in the highly influential 70s Kent/Akron/Cleveland music and art scene that practically invented the American new wave sound with such bands as Devo, Chrissie Hynde’s Jack Rabbit, the Bizarros, Pere Ubu, Pagans, and Butler’s own Waitresses, 15-60-75...

Led Bib - Sensible Shoes

Sensible Shoes is the fourth album by this London quartet of dual alto saxes, Fender Rhodes & keyboards, bass and drums. It is a cataclysmic offering of jazz-rock, free-jazz, avant-skronk, funk-rock, art-noise and whatever else they can lay their hands on. A tremendously popular act at home in the UK, where they regularly play large-scale festivals and concert halls (as well as playing the typical club gigs that all musicians play), Sensible Shoes is their first recording to be released outside of the UK...

MX-80 Sound - Better Than Life CD

Poignant isn’t normally a word I would use to describe MX-80 (usually it’s loud, brash and outrageous), but since their guitar-extraordinaire and linchpin, Bruce Anderson died last year and this was the album he had finished when he died, it’s poignant to me personally. And, with the double trio line up (2 guitars, 2 basses, 2 drums + Rich Stim), it’s one of their great ones!

“MX-80 Sound is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, USA, by guitarist Bruce Anderson...
