The Boys Whose Head Exploded (pic)
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 band's 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 bands Molotov cocktail of punk, funk, free jazz
and radical politics at its most artistically concussive. The vinyl edition comes as a picture disc with a download card
to access the film and hi-res audio content.
