I remember buying To Each… at Full Moon Records in 1981, the year of its release. I also remember letting it slip from my collection and waiting several years before its reissue on CD. It wasn’t until 2005 at Wazoo Records in Ann Arbor that I’d find a copy. This band’s use of trumpet and percussion, not to mention that Martin Hannett production stamp, gave them such a unique sound. The bass is often the only instrument carrying any sort of melody while the vocals and trumpet are kept in the background to create an eerie feel.
