Visitors - "Moth" (1979)

One of my favorite years for music. This is a band from Edinburgh, Scotland.

They only released three 7" EPs, but they were all great. John Peel was a fan. He apparently bankrolled the release of their second single. The band lasted only a year or two. I found this by way of a compilation released in 2016.

It's a really fun and unique mix of post-punk and synth-punk. I see the entire EP on on YT

MAGAZINE
Rays & Hail 1978-2011
2024 Worldwide 2xLP Compilation
Yellow #vinyl

Give me ALL of the Magazine, and just hook it straight into my veins.

Nice job here by Howard Devoto of curating this, & rearranging it for its 1st vinyl press.

19 tracks here as opposed to the CD’s 14 song track list.
Every Magazine scorcher is here, and if you’re just starting to dip your toes into the band’s waters, this is an amazing introductory course.

BUZZCOCKS
Singles Going Steady
2019 Europe Reissue

Front to back, song to song, one of the greatest compilations of a band’s body of work.

“I Don’t Mind” may hold the record for the song I put on the most mix tapes/CDs for people. Desert island song for me, & I think I’d have to take the whole record.

Just a perfect record to pump at full volume, any time, any place.

Scale of 1-10… a 40 billion.

JAPAN
Obscure Alternatives
1978 Canada pressing

This was the last of Japan as “glam #newwave band”, as they started to enter Phase 2 of their career.

Sylvian is experimenting with vocal style here, & when you get to the closer “The Tenant”, you hear the Japan we think of now, from Quiet Life on.
The “more #art less rock” Japan.

I love this album though.
“Rhodesia” has a total #reggae vibe, and the two ‘singles’ are really good.
