SSQ is probably the #1 new wave 80's album never released on CD & should be. At least Secession has been. I have that one

Is it because they are "rare", or because you enjoy listening to a good song being amateurishly extended? 12-inch was a CONSUMERIST device and very few of them have artistic merit. They aren't great just because they are "rare".
Altered Images were a rather crap band. Yeah, like 5 great songs over whatever many LPs. Don't bother with more of them.
And seriously, can someone explain the Secession fixation?

Why don't you tell us what you DO like so we can all rip your opinions to shreds for a switch? I've yet to see a remotely positive comment from you on anything.
