Infected by Records

Single Sound 1978-1980 - Knoxville quartet that apparently started the post punk new wave scene in the area. It has been stated to sound between Richard Hell and King Crimson, and I hear that, but it might be much more than that. this is infectious and very very cool stuff. it has more of an art rock feel but not pretentiously. this 12" 45 rpm has only four songs, and all are terrific songs. the black and white understated cover makes this look cheaply produced, but thats the charm. the cd version of this lone LP has been reissued by Wonderdog Records and includes extra material. this is the only vinyl available and damn if i can find a copy for sale anywhere. its not on ebay, allmusic, musicstack, gemm, amazon, or on google. the cd-r is out there for 25- but not the vinyl. my copy is a Brooklyn find, priced at 4- from 1989.
