A complete unreleased album. Well-documented as one of Frank Zappa's favourite ever groups and instantly recognisable as the Blueprint of 80's Mancunian electro pop, the inflated a lter - egos of Gerry and The Holograms (and their unrivalled brand of conceptual sarcastic synth pop) successfully remodelled, ridiculed and redefined plugged-in punk before hitting the self-destruct button and burying the evidence under a pile of hand-mutilated microgrooves for over 35 wet summers. Having risen from the electronic embers of Manchester's first genuine psychedelic band, via Vertigo commissioned prog and experimental theatre, then refined through the musical mind behind the most inspired vinyl moments of Martin Hannett, John Cooper Clarke and Jilted John - the onliest discography of the Gerry and the Holograms anti-band remains unrivalled as the most idiosyncratic and enigmatic pivotal post-punk artefact from the first electronic entrenchment of pop.
