The Homosexuals' Record

The Homosexuals' Record cover art

Gathering the highly obscure, self-released late-70s singles of the brilliant but notoriously difficult London outfit, this compilation acts as their definitive artistic statement. The Homosexuals wildly deconstructed the rigid aggression of punk, incorporating bizarre tempo changes, heavy pop melodies, and surreal, hyper-literate satire. Their fiercely anti-commercial approach relegated them to obscurity, but this collection proved foundational to the later development of experimental post-punk.
