Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-released by Rough Trade and the band's own St. Pancras imprint, this highly influential debut embodied the Marxist, intellectual wing of the UK DIY movement. The sleeve controversially included a detailed breakdown of the pressing costs, reflecting the group's staunchly anti-capitalist, demystifying approach to record production.
