Fallout - "Salami Tactics E.P." - (Fallout Records F2) 1982




Recorded Between 12am + 8am 30th sept 1982, At Ark studio Kingston by Charlie and Rob, formerly of the DIY punk legends: Six Minute War
As you may know I like Six Minute War and Fallout's attitude to the Anarcho-Punk bores like .....Crass,and the legions of the washed out black clothing throng what followed and copied everything they did. It gives me a headache just thinking about 'em.......(groan!)
But this is another great release from Fallout(check album here), featuring more versions of the same melody, guitar sounds that sound like a bucket of gravel in an oil drum, and even a bass line ripped directly off of Joy Division('Fly The Flag'), which is a hearty recommendation in itself.
Again totally self-released and created( although due to inflation yu had to shell out a hefty 90p to own this in 1982)......and they stayed up all night to record it,and probably went to work afterwards;now that's rock and roll....isn't it?

Track Listing:

Any idea on where these people are now? And also I wonder what the cover is, I’ve been trying to found out where the picture originated from for the salami tactics cover. Cheers

No Idea,but that drummer bloke from the Apostles, Chris Low(?) may know. He's on Facebook. Fucking great record though this, not played it for decades.
