Scritti Politti ‎– "4 'A Sides' " (Rough Trade ‎– RT 027, St. Pancras Records ‎– SCRIT 2) 1979


Is it me or were there two EP's with the same catalog number? SCRIT 2?
Here's the last post from Scritti politti's golden years.
The official story is that Green got ill, got on the M4 in the wrong direction, and ended up back in Cardiff ,then discovered his sisters record collection and decided to make 'proper' poop records.
He could plead Insanity one supposes?

Tracklist:

A1 Bibbly-O-Tek
A2 Doubt Beat
B1 Confidence
B2 P.A.s

I had now idea that they were ever any good - or, for that matter, that Cardiff had such a whole lot of talent - I'm totally adoring Young Mable Giants. Thank you so much.

Hi, seems to be fine from this end.
Refresh and try again?

I've always loved these early Scritti records. Nuts to the rest of Green's stuff.

The unashamedly copyist stuff by Simon Emmerson is good too, released as Stepping Talk and Methodishca Tune on "Eustone Records" (next door to St Pancras). Surprised they're not actually up on the blog.
