Politburo
Inside - Private Archives 1983-1986
Directly from the vaults of the band comes an album comprised of recordings made between 1983 and 1986. Led by singer/vocalist Tommy De Chirico - an Italian mastermind of the synth and minimal wave era - the band was a very influential combo in the heyday of post-punk in urban Turin. Very akin to some contemporary English heroes, the sound of the band was equally melodic and groovy. Have a look at a number of very rare tracks on the A side - demos, compilation tracks, and the like - and some very sought after live recordings of the same period on the flip. Limited edition of 300 copies. File under: Rough Trade/Factory
