The Prats

I remembered this group after reading a post on Venus (Of Unit 3 With Venus). Here is another very young group from the early 80's. Very Simplistic, extremely adolescent, recently re-released on a rough trade shops post-punk compilation (A Great Buy for any fan of post-punk music. There are some real gems on there). The Prats released several EP's in the early 80's. This song is from their "1990's Pop" EP (Released in 1980). Enjoy! And if anyone else has any other songs from this group, feel free to post!

vamps,
I did a little search on the Prats and discovered that a collection of their work was released on cd in August of this year by One Little Indian Records. Here's the link to information on the release:
