Another one of the many compilations released on cassette by Color Tapes in the eighties, this one is from 1985....not a vintage year elsewhere, but on the Color label, it was as if the 'New Romantics' had never happened.
We are treated to two melodic classix from the cruelly ignored 'Cleaners From Venus', worth the admission money all by themselves.This is countered by the truly awful 'That It', with some over-clever lounge jazz for the discerning pseudo intellectual.
The rest is populated by the usual Color crew, normally involving Gary Ramon somewhere in the mix of Minimal Synth, Cold Wave, and Proto-Indie ditties...really rather marvellous.

In 1982 we wanted to put those Take It tracks out as a single on Namedrop Records! I never knew they'd been released - I think the group had long since broken up by 1985.
Well, its a good job you didn't in my opinion...ugh!...yeah i thought they disappeared about 1981/2, but they did get a mention on the Door and the Windows version of 'Part-Time Punks', so they're ok by me.
