Description
"In marked contrast to Singles Vol One, this compilation showcases an
altogether more stable line-up - the one that recorded Hex Enduction Hour to
be precise, notwithstanding some to-ing and fro-ing on the kit between me
and Karl
As with previous releases, there are some revelatory versions here, and the mastering
is a wonder to behold, or whatever the aural equivalent of 'behold' is. The earliest,
Putta Block, from May 1980 was recorded at the Beach Club, a short-lived Manchester
venue that also saw New Order's debut gig. The latest, Ludd Gang, comes fom New
York's legendary Danceteria in 1983. Apparently Madonna was there, but you can't
hear her.
"In between you can judge what The Man Whose Head Expanded sounded like with
Marc and what Fantastic Life sounded like without me. They're both remarkable, of
course."
