Comment:

unlike the previously-posted mekons mix, this one's peppered with solo contributions from both jon and sally. a note: both "curse of the mekons" (which was never-available in the US before) and "rock 'n' roll" (which is their finest blast of spite, fury and fiddle - and out of print in the US for years now) just got reissued last week on CD. if you've ever been curious about this essential, endlessly rewarding band, either of those are great places to start...

Have you ever checked out any of the Waco Brothers stuff? It's really good. I love Jon Langford's voice. I'd like to find their first record with "Never Been In A Riot". I believe that they came out of the same lefty Leeds scene as The Gang Of Four and The Au Pairs. I really like that late 70s/early 80s Rough Trade/postpunk/art funk/white punks on dub sound.
