Album Notes & Community Reviews

The seminal British art-punk band returned to material originally drafted but unrecorded during their transitional period between 1979 and 1980. Re-recorded with modern studio precision, it seamlessly translates their historical, jagged post-punk blueprints into contemporary relevance.
