[2013-10-08] The Higsons "Curse of the Higsons" expanded reissue (Cherry Red)

NoPhoneNoPoolNoPets · 17 Jul 2007

Description
Digitally remastered and expanded three CD edition of the British Punk-Funk band's 1984 album. This expanded version adds all the versions/tracks which graced their two collectable singles for 2-Tone ('Tear the Whole Thing Down' and 'Run Me Down'), plus other singles 'Push Out the Boat', their charming cover of Andy Williams' 'Music to Watch Girls By' and a demo of their swansong, 'Take It', from 1985. As a bonus third disc, the hitherto cassette-only album Live at the Jacquard Club, Norwich makes it's digital debut. Issued on Chaos Tapes, it is now swelled by five tracks from a Lyceum show in 1984, three of which are previously unissued.

The Higsons "Run Me Down" (7" mix):

Great set of this early 80's classic album, expanded with additional A & B sides, remixes, raw mixes, and a blistering live set.

Great price, too . New copies from 3rd party sellers for $9 , shipped

"I don't want to live with monkeys", indeed. :ohyes:
