'Field Day For The Sundays' 

Like Magazine an intelligent and thought provoking band. Their first album Pink Flag (1977 Harvest) weighs in with an astonishing 21 tracks and is all excellent coming at music from a different angle and sounding taut and fresh. Field Day For The Sundays / Reuters / 12xU and 3 Girl Rhumba ( hello Elastica and Menswear) are the picks. Their next two albums Chairs Missing (1978 Harvest) and 154 (the amount of gigs they had played up till them. Harvest 1979) saw them progress into ever increasing paranoia.

Good singles. Mannequin / Feeling Called love / 12xU (1977 Harvest) , I am The Fly / Ex Lion Tamer (1978 Harvest) , Dot Dash / Options R (1978 Harvest). Two tracks on Live at Roxy album Lowdown and 12xU.

Band: Colin Newman - Vocals. Graham Lewis - Bass. Robin Gotobed - Drums (ex Art Attacks). Bruce Gilbert - Guitar.
