This actual And Band was George D Henderson (later of the excellent Puddle), Mark Thomas and Susan Ellis who recorded this in Christchurch in 1981 and it was originally released only on cassette.

Now let’s be clear, this lo-fi, sometimes languidly stoned, frequently quiet sonic noise from guitars, organ, percussion, autoharp and cello will not be to everyone’s taste. But if your listening has ever run to the most minimal end of Tall Dwarfs or some of the more marginal things which came out of Factory Records then it will be right in your zone. The second side opens with She Done Dead which has declaimed lyrics adapted from the horror writer HP Lovecraft and comes at you over percussion clatter and discordant prepared guitar, like some post-punk poetry recorded in the kitchen. Elsewhere there is cheaply recorded free form piano and clanking drumming (with moaning and sometimes barely decipherable vocals), suggestions of a chorus occasionally, meandering improvisations on the pleasant March on the Stronghold . . .Some of this might be described as “experimental’ (it’s in the nature of experiments that not all are successful) but Henderson has said it was the sound of a band breaking up. (Graham Reid)

PRE-ORDERS

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
