Infected by Records

T.W. Records 1 / 1980-81 - dark wave, joy division style without the massive production. strumming and shoegazing early 80's a la The Church. several songs are very strong, especially 'the guests have arrived', 'fictional girl', and 'hide and seek', which all arise on side two. this is a three piece outfit led by David Cole. this is good enough to have a cd reissue made for it, and many would enjoy its throbbing sensibilities. my copy has the original lyric sheet, shows a young doctor wearing a stethoscope in a garden, pictured in black and white. the back has an all too 80's chicky missing her nose/mouth which gives a look similar to the meat ground children from pink floyd's movie. this copy came from the Brooklyn load, so its original sticker was 5- back in 1989. i found this one on musicstack for no less than 45- in five locations. craig moerer was out of this one, too. this band has no website, no listing on allmusic, and no items for sale on ebay now or in the last 30 days from this posting. kind of rare to find much information at all for this band. even the label is a murky information hunt at best, as this is the first release on T.W. Records Ltd. overall grade B+/perfect PP companion to many collections, rare and desirable small label pressing. enjoy your hunt, you might need this one.
