Karl robson What a treat this is.
A Vastly underrated band and brilliant live.

deptofrichie love this. well worth your coin. I'm only sad that the new fads archives don't hold more. although I hear a live album may be possible! Favorite track: Lions.

norm_waz Thanks for the cute badge man!...

Rob Wosley And I'm right back in Manchester's Green Room back in the day, experiencing these boys as support for CUD, and so began an ensuring obsession. They were the finest band to emerge from the North in that crazy time and were cruelly denied the massive world stage they so deserved. To this day, they are one of my top 3 bands of all time. Favourite track? All of them....

about

A compilation of the first two New Fast Automatic Daffodils demo cassettes recorded in 1988 in the (in)famous Kitchen in Hulme which went on to be the true birthplace of Acid House in Manchester. Features demo versions of the first three singles.'Lions", "Music is Shit (Pt1&2), and a long lost version of "Big". (The original demo we thought lost for the past 30 years) . There are five other unreleased tracks that formed the basis of their early live sets. The Artwork uses the brilliant woodcut by Joe McCullough and went on to feature in all the early Fads visuals from T-Shirts, Flyers, and Posters.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
