Unzipping The Abstract

Here's a couple of tracks from this hard to find comp, featuring obscure early 80's Manchester bands. Definitely a lo-fi effort with some of the tracks being recorded in attics etc. Some good stuff on it nonetheless.

The Still - 9.5

The Liggers - Pretty Girl (B-52ish with the girls singing)

Dude, your rep is going to take a hit if you keep sharing and talking about music.

I know, I gotta get back to carving people a new one. I've just been out of sorts lately.

You're welcome guys. There are actually a few more songs that I think are worth posting, but my copy of the vinyl is a bit on the rough side. Tough comp to get a hold of...usually goes for about $100.00 - $150.00 U.S. a copy.

Here is one more that I was able to salvage:

Performance - Natural Equilibrium

NO, I've shared too much of that already.

Nice tracks - I would never have guessed that the Liggers song was not the B-52s. Very cool.
