I've been listening to the 1991 reissue of their 'This Heat' (reissued by
'These Records').  Fantastic stuff.

It looks like this is about to change...

This Heat - 'This Heat'

"This Heat emerged in early 1976, known as the most left-field and most
hard-edged band in the country, their concerts attracted Experimental, Punk
and New Wave audiences alike. Working for years in their own, now legendary,
studio in Brixton (Cold Storage) their material evolved, grew and became
increasingly intense. Their first LP, with its distinctive blue and yellow
sleeve, appeared on David Cunningham's Piano label in 1979 and acquired
immediate iconic status, and over time it has also proved itself prescient;
there are musical innovations here that would take another 15 years to
reappear. 'This Heat' was a landmark release - music without precedent; the
musicians uncompromising; the recordings hammeringly intense and the sound
deep, radical, and rich. And it hasn't aged" This re-mastered and repackaged
edition is the first of a series of This Heat reissues. Released January
23rd - #10.99.


all the best,
