The late Poly is now a pop culture pin-up for an originality and feminism that barely existed at the time. Her acerbic, witty and brilliant lyrics and distinctive voice have stood the test of time, and along with the band’s original sax player Lora Logic, she has become part of the punk rock narrative. The fuzzy snapshots of the brief early lineup see the sassy and sharp dressed teenager core oozing talent, originality and style in a freeze frame of pop culture punk rock perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: December 2023\u003cbr\u003eCat: DYI027LPC\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Do Yourself In\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B0jGWvNrzFY?si=oDrrbX9suWPolscH\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

In his liner notes, Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom says this release presents the album’s songs in their “full guitar laden versions with all the layers of beautifully streamlined guitar — considered by us to be too hard to replicate live and therefore reduced for the original release.” “For me, this is where Spacemen 3 song writing came to a head – many of these songs pre-dated “Sound Of Confusion”, some were even recorded at both sessions, but I am still impressed mightily by Jason’s lyrical genius on originals like “Walking With Jesus” and re-writes like “Come Down Easy” and his fluid guitar playing across the whole sessions. To be sure “Playing With Fire” was soon to be our long and sultry Indian Summer but “Perfect Prescription” was the progeny of that hot, lazy (and occasionally rainy) summer.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased: December 2023\u003cbr\u003eCat: ORBIT082LP\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Space Age Recordings\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MoIFzVfhcYU?si=zdK2y5Hk7ywz0swQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Things'll Never Be the Same \u003cbr\u003e2 Walking with Jesus \u003cbr\u003e3 Ode to Street Hassle\u003cbr\u003e 4 Call the Doctor \u003cbr\u003e5 Feel So Good \u003cbr\u003e6 Come Down Easy (Demo) \u003cbr\u003e7 Transparent Radiation (Single Version) \u003cbr\u003e8 Ecstasy Symphony \u003cbr\u003e9 Soul \u003cbr\u003e10 Transparent Radiation \u003cbr\u003e11 Come Down Easy \u003cbr\u003e12 Walking with Jesus (Demo) \u003cbr\u003e13 Things'll Never Be the Same (Demo) \u003cbr\u003e14 We Sell Soul 2 Starship (Demo) \u003cbr\u003e15 Take Me to The Other Side (Demo) \u003cbr\u003e16 Velvet Jam \u003cbr\u003e17 I Want You Right Now\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spacemen 3","offers":[{"title":"2LP-Black","offer_id":40358977044582,"sku":"15\/12\/23-DISCAR","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1795\/4365\/files\/73556102-b631-402e-8ec0-a53f7e45ce57_thumbnail_1024.webp?v=1699535630"},{"product_id":"blue-orchids-magpie-heights-vinyl","title":"Magpie Heights","description":"Martin Bramah, lead guitarist in The Fall, was the final original musician to leave the band and inarguably the most important factor in the band's original sound. What Bramah took with him on departure was a sort of hazy psychedelic vision featured so readily on The Fall's debut, Live At The Witch Trials, and continued through his work with Blue Orchids, even if that lineage was obscured somewhat by The Fall's popularity and consistent stream of releases. For Bramah, the decades after The Fall were fraught. After regrouping as Blue Orchids with fellow Fall castaways Una Baines and Rick Goldstraw), initial releases rose to notoriety with two caustic and intense 7 singles, The Flood and Work, along with the more varied collection of songs featured on their debut LP, The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain), which topped the indie charts and remains a touchstone for many artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased: December 2023\u003cbr\u003eCat: PICI0056LP\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Tiny Global Productions\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
