The safety net of rock was ejected totally for an semi-improvised live sound,where band members played instruments they were unfamiliar with, at live gigs they even drew lots to see who played what. Of course this caused riots,and Mark Perry was in fact knocked unconscious on a couple of occasions by missiles threw from the crowd. This led to a change of name to "The Good Missionaries" on the Animal instinct tour with the Pop Group.
This is confrontational music, challenging and uncompromising. This is a different group to the one that recorded Action Time and Vision,and other punk anthems.Love It!

ReplyDeleteDear folks: this is viewed widely as an IMPORTANT lp. Indeed, in the day, it was quite a big deal among the well-informed over here in Canoodlia. So, ATV were indeed appreciated by a far-flung coterie.
But how useless it must be to be important to marginal people in a marginal country. Oh dear. Anyway, yet a-fucking-gain, JZ, thanks so much for posting this and stirring some positive memories in such a negative time. I only hope some twenty-somethings hear this and are inspired to do something... else. Of their own. Unrecognizably.
Greatest Punk record ever.
