Limited blue vinyl LP pressing. 1979 live release by the Scottish punk legends. The Rezillos formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1976. Although emerging at the same time as other ban ds in the punk rock movement, the Rezillos did not share the nihilism or social commentary of their contemporaries, but instead took a more light-hearted approach to their songs, preferring to describe themselves at the time as "a New Wave beat group". Their songs are heavily influenced by 1950s rock and roll, 1960s English beat music and garage rock, early 1970s glam rock, and recurring lyrical themes of science fiction and B movies; their influences mirrored those of US bands the Cramps, the B-52s, and X, who were starting out at the same time. Released in July 1978, the Rezillos' first studio album Can't Stand the Rezillos is now considered a classic album of the first wave of British punk, but the group split up four months after it's release, following internal arguments about their future direction. This live album was released shortly afterwards. Show more
