Description
The "Y" L.P. by The Pop Group.
Radar Records RAD20. With original poster.near mint / excellent.
"Emerging in the late-'70s post-punk era, this militant gang of leftist radical politicos from Bristol, England, specialized in a funk-driven cacophony of sound that was abrasive, strident, and ultimately very exciting. Railing against Margaret Thatcher's Tory government, the state of pop music, racism, sexism, etc., the Pop Group were not the easiest band of the early post-punk era to listen to, but those who made the effort were in for an interesting melange of primitive rhythms and avant-garde guitar racket. Led by the squalling "vocals" of Mark Stewart (which were little more than chanted political slogans), the Pop Group were unabashedly and stridently radical to the point of being hectoring. But, unlike others of their ilk, the music was so challenging, joyfully noisy, and downright weird that it was easy to cut them a little slack, even when their finger-pointing and ranting became a bit much. Never intending to make a serious run at the pop charts, the Pop Group imploded after three albums, the third being a collection of outtakes and assorted ephemera. They did, however, contribute some talented people to other bands: most notably Gareth Sanger, who formed the wild and woolly Rip Rig & Panic (named after a Rahsaan Roland Kirk LP), which also featured the lead vocals of a then-teenage Neneh Cherry; and the aforementioned Stewart, who went on to flourish in Adrian Sherwood's On-U stable of artists, recording with the Maffia and Tackhead. Despite its raw, inherent anti-commerciality, the Pop Group's dissonant agit-prop rock did influence a contemporary generation of political bands like Fugazi, Fun-da-Mental, and Rage Against the Machine."
Note: I try to make the remarks about the condition of the vinyl records in my auctions as accurate as possible, but I don't have time to play them all so they're mostly evaluated visually. If you feel that the description is inaccurate I will give a refund on return of the disk in most cases. If you leave negative or neutral feedback for this reason without discussing it first it will be reciprocated.
The postage will cost £2.60 for the UK, £3.20 for Europe and £4.60 for everywhere else. I will combine postage costs for multiple items on request. The above prices are often lower than the actual cost anyway.
If you want to pay with a cheque please make it out to "Cordelia Records" - not jimdpie - and it has to be in UK currency and from a UK bank).
