The fabled 'solo' lp from Mark Perry.Recorded at Street level in the
summer of 1980 has several of the known Perry associates helping out
with the recording. Dennis Burns, Nag, Tyrone Thomas, Anno and Grant
Showbiz. The tracks are great, although ‘The Object Is Love’, ‘You Know’
and ‘At War’ are the stand out tracks.
But its another brave example of Perry's anti-rock stance of the time. He must have endured a tumult of slagging for these records, which makes them sound even better for it.
A Superb ramshackle glorification of amateurism,topped off with perrys brand of faux-naive poetry which is both at once endearing and challenging. Another classic!
