Avon Calling – Avon Calling / Various (LP)– Josey Records One Day Deal

Description

Originally released on the Heartbeat label in 1979, and featuring the likes of Glaxo Babies, X-Certs, Vice Squad, Private Dicks, and The Stingrays, Avon Calling was the statement of intent of the late ’70s Bristol post-punk scene. Though Bristol is certainly not the first city that comes to mind when the term “British post-punk” is mentioned, the music scene there during the late ’70s was stylistically diverse and boundary pushing. There’s no better example of the fruits of that scene than Avon Calling; from straight punk to pub rock, art-punk to dubbed out jams, this comp has it all. A truly unique collection from England’s most underrated post-punk metropolis.”Avon Calling is a veritable riot of stunning pop.” – NME Tracklist:It’s Irrational (Glaxo Babies)On the Continent (Europeans)Green Is in the Red (Private Dicks)Too Much Commotion (Moskow)Chronicle (Essential Bop)What You’ve Got (Directors)Own Up (Various Artists)Slugweird (Sneak Preview)Sound (The Stingrays) 1Anthem (The X-Certs) 1The Alternative (Apartment) 1Cross-Slide (The Numbers) 1Nothing (Vice Squad) 1Move Fast – Stay Ahead (Stereo Models) 1My Dead Mother (Double Vision) UPC: 8592735001619Label: Radiation ReissuesRelease Date: 2.18.14Format: Vinyl
