Survival Records ~ 1982
From Allmusic.com:
Drinking Electricity were a post-punk/synthpop trio from Edinburgh, Scotland active during the early 1980s.
The trio comprised Anne-Marie Heighway (vocals), David Rome (guitar, vocals), and Paul Edgley (bass). Rome had previously worked with Martin Lloyd in the band Analysis, which was later to evolve into Oppenheimer Analysis. They were signed by former Fast product boss Bob Last to his new Pop: Aural label. Their first two singles were both cover versions, the first a version of Johnny Kidd's "Shaking All Over", and the second a version of The Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action". Their third single was their own composition, "Cruising Missiles", and was the last for Pop: Aural, with Heighway and Rome setting up their own Survival label for subsequent releases. First release on their new label was "Subliminal" in 1981. It would be early 1982 before their next release, the band's debut album Overload. The album was not well-received critically, with Trouser Press describing it as "simple, rather plain synth-rock with a strong electronic beat and thin ancillary instrumentation". After two further singles in 1982, the band split up. The Survival label went on to become one of the premiere "minimal techno" labels of the 80s, with releases by the likes of Richard Bone, Tik and Tok, Thirteen at Midnight, and Play, and several releases by Capercaillie.

These Records are coming from my personal collection. I worked at a record store in the Washington D.C. area for through the 1980s and got first pick of the store, so there's lots of gems! Some were bought used and I try to accurately indicate their condition.
MANY RECORDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE, IF THAT!

ORDERING NOTES:
- Please note the discount on combined orders and check out additional items. For Records, only $1.00 each additional CD shipped at the same time domestically ($2.50 internationally). Note: I'm estimating each album with the strong, cardboard box to be around 14 ounces. First class overseas costs me $10.76! Add on the cost of the package, printing, etc. and I'm breaking even on international postage. Domestically, first class is only good up to 13 ounces, so items over that will be shipped media mail, unless you pick the more expensive Priority mail option.
- If you're outside Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia or other countries with modernized, efficient and reliable shipping, give me those details before you buy.
