Album Notes & Community Reviews

An early single by Liverpool band Clinic, post punk built on clarinet, melodica and Ade Blackburn's muffled vocal behind the band's signature surgical masks. Its abrasive, garage tinged arrangements appeared on the band's own Aladdin's Cave of Golf imprint, before their signing to Domino the following year.
