The Pop Groups 'Official' bootleg, compiling demos, live tracks,and radio sessions onto one handy black disc. Not a bad track on here (excepting 'springer',which is rather irritating).
The revived Poop Groop are currently destroying their legacy at a concert venue and record shop near you, but don't let that detract from the brilliance of their back catalogue,which you should already have in your collection and know intimately.Of which 'We are Time' is an essential part.

1- Trap - demo 78
2- Thief of Fire - live Electric Ballroom 79
3- Genius or Lunatic - live Brussels 78
4- Color Blind - demo 78

Well chosen. This is the stuff that makes the hairs on my neck bristle.
Yeah, good innit?
It does highlight how far they've stooped. Reformed bands suck more often than not.
I distinctly remember the thrill of chancing upon this LP in a record store in Toronto in the early '80s. I didn't know there was a third Pop Group album at the time and I've never come across this record in a shop again. So glad I snapped it up that day in Toronto. It's a disc I've returned to many times over!
Nicely!
