Second pressing. Celebrating This Heat's 40th anniversary in 2016, Modern Classics Recordings will re-issue the band's catalog with full co-operation of surviving members Charles Bullen and Charles Hayward. Four decades on, the tireless efforts of This Heat's process can once again be a revelation for new audiences. With their debut album and follow-up maxi single Health and Efficiency, This Heat sowed the seeds of post-punk, avant rock, noise rock and post-rock, placing the trio - Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward and Gareth Williams - at the forefront of experimental music. However, 1981's Deceit is the one that truly deserves its reputation as a classic of the post-punk era, tying up the myriad threads of their work so far and adding accessibility and melody to the still furiously forward-thinking sound. 24 bit/96 kHz re-master from original analog tapes. 180 gram wax housed in a tip-on jacket. Includes booklet with track notes and archival photos.
