Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 10:55:48 -0500
"Originally released on Rough Trade in 1979, this record is a landmark
in post-punk, new wave and indie-pop, and it also boasts one of the
most teeth-grindingly cutesy cover paintings (courtesy of Pang Hsiao-
Li) in history. The We Three label is responsible for this reissue,
delivering it on CD and heavyweight vinyl with liner notes, photos, an
introduction from Raincoats obsessive Kurt Cobain (this first appeared
in ’94′s Rough Trade re-release) and other ephemera. It’s
released later this month."
