***DELTA 5 - Singles & Sessions 1979-81 - $12 CD
http://www.buyolympia.com/killrockstars/Item=KRS415
Part of the Leeds/UK art/music scene in the late 70s that
launched The Gang of Four and The Mekons, Delta 5 was
signed to Rough Trade after only a few months in
existence, and released their first single recording,
"Mind Your Own Business/Now That You've Gone" in 1979. No
less an authority than legendary BBC host and producer
John Peel received an advance copy of the single and
played it twice that same night. He then requested that
the band do a "Sessions" gig for him and the band was
officially on its way.  Relentless gigging with The Gang
of Four, Echo and the Bunnymen, B52s, Specials, Teardrop
Explodes, and U2 put the band on the map worldwide. They
continued touring and recording until various members
departed in late 1981, when they recorded one last single
and then broke up for good in 1982.
