Made by: Bradbury and Ellard
What a funny thing - our label decided we needed to release a retrospective in 1986. After all, the band was going to disappear soon after right? So we dragged out bits that we had lying around from 1979 up til 1984 and crammed them into a montage over 4 sides of vinyl. Bradbury and Ellard would fuss each bit and sling it on our wonderful new digital recorder, although back then they still had to cut the records from tape.
Thing is, we still have the digital recorder, so this CD is made directly from the bits assembled twenty years ago. That's kind of cyrogenic don't you think? This album has lots of bits, live bits, studio bits, bits that appear on other CDs here. It's a trip, as the kids say.
