The Boys Whose Head Exploded (cd+dvd)
Post punk provocateurs The Pop Group unveil their latest archival release, The Boys Whose Head Exploded, a collection of live recordings drawn from incendiary appearances in late 1979 and 1980, along with a bonus DVD featuring film footage shot by legendary director Don Letts. Largely recorded in 1980, the compilation features brawling versions of songs from the bands recently reissued second studio album For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? The collection also includes the previously unreleased 73 Shadow Street, and a surprise mutation of the Glaxo Babies' Shake The Foundation. The accompanying film footage is a short feature thats been hiding in Don Letts' punk rock archives for the past 35 years. Filmed by Letts at Alexandra Palace in June, 1980 at an all day festival that featured the likes of John Cooper Clarke, The Raincoats and The Slits -the rare footage encapsulates the band's Molotov cocktail of punk, funk, free jazz and radical politics at its most artistically concussive. The CD edition includes a DVD of the 1980 footage and a 24 page poster.
