Manchester's Crispy Ambulance was one of the indie-label explosion bands that formed in the late '70s after such ensembles as Throbbing Gristle and the abrasively punky Mekons helped dig a niche for music that wasn't oriented to the rock'n'roll lifestyle or chart success.

Despite a reputation as part of the city's gloom movement — thanks to an early association with Factory, a Joy Division gig at which Crispy Ambulance singer/synthesist Alan Hempsall subbed for Ian Curtis, and one studio foray with producer Martin Hannett (on the misleadingly titled Live on a Hot August Night 12-inch: two Joy Div styled studio tracks that run a combined total of 22 minutes, including droning ambient passages) — the quartet could actually be quite perky, even danceable, as on the posthumously issued "Sexus" single.

More soundsters than popsters, Crispy Ambulance at first produced landscapes of timbre and texture featuring canted vocals and sharp-edged guitar; the group later moved on to drawn-out moanings and synthesizer-produced textures mixed with shimmering guitar. At its best, Crispy Ambulance could create deceptively unobtrusive sci-fi scores.

Recorded live at various European shows in 1981 and '82, Fin shows just how active and abrasive the group's experiments with synthesizer and guitar textures could be, and acknowledges its stylistic foundations in a cover of Throbbing Gristle's "United."

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
