One of the ultimate EPs from the legendary UK Post Punk DIY scene, which began roughly with "Spiral Scratch" (Buzzcocks) and was then philosophised by the Desperate Bicycles in 1977; "It was easy,It was Cheap,Go and do it!".

This was taken on board by a vast legion of bedroom dwellers across the land, frustrated by their lack of ability to play or afford the mega expensive Gibsons and Fenders played by so-called "punks" like Strummer and Steve Jones. The Sex Pistols had become another untouchable Rock Groop which the average kid had no chance of emanating.

The answer? Simple, buy that cheap organ from the junk shop instead of an American guitar. Plastic bins, cardboard boxes and tin cans replace the drum kit. That crap mono cassette recorder can be your recording studio, and then you can start your own record label and advertise in Sounds or the NME's D.I.Y. corner.

This was/is the REAL punk.

The EMI of the genre was of course the profoundly titled F*CK OFF RECORDS, and his Street Level recording studio was the Abbey Road of what they regularly referred to as the "Weird Noise" scene. Hence the title of F*ck Off records first vinyl release from 1980, The "Weird Noise E.P".

This collected some of Cassette Culture's leading lights together in one 33rpm 7 inch work of art.

It contains Danny and the Dressmakers' fantastic "(Don't make another Bass Guitar) Mr. Rickenbacker". Danny and the Dressmakers included Graham Massey, of 808 state fame, and Alan Hempsall of Crispy Ambulance.

We also have those blues masters of the Humber delta themselves, The Instant Automations, who headed the prolific cassette label Deleted Records (F*ck Off Records' chief rivals, but all were friends in the world of DIY).

Also featured are Kif Kif's (Keith Dobson) 012, which featured members of Hippy improv combo Here and Now.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.

*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********

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

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.

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.
