Looking forThe Pop Group ----Y and How Much Longer do we........

I thought Honeymoon On Mars was a massive improvement on Citizen Zombie - it didn't have as much of the oppression but a lot of space, almost like a dub electronica record (and I guess showing the influence of Dennis Bovell and Hank Shocklee in the production).

that cover art though ...

It could be worse, you could have a t shirt lying around with that artwork on it.

I had no idea Honeymoon on Mars had been out for almost a year!

I've never seen this before but it's just as great as PIL on bandstand

That was fantastic, thanks for sharing!

I bought a copy of "Y" on CD in the 90s and it didn't make much sense. I would revisit it every few years and now I love it, even picked up the odds and sods "We Are All Prostitutes" comp as a supplement. Not too keen on later material though there's good bits along the way.

I think I picked up Y and a scratched up version of Beefheart's Lick My Decals Off in the same purchase thanks to comparisons in Birthday party features in early 8-0s NMEs that my brother had. think I picked up on Pere ubu from the same source, it just took me longer to get hold of their material.

But have loved Y since then.
