Return of Ed Sanders' and Tuli Kupferberg's legendary punk-poets

Delightful, dashing debut from Scottish punk-funksters

Donald Fagenson (Don Was) and David Weiss (David Was), two nice Jewish boys from the Detroit suburb of Oak Park, were the Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of the early '80s, making acerbic commentaries on Reagan-era geopolitics over superbly produced and polished, futuristic punk-funk. Detroit being the Motor City and the home of Motown and the MC5, Was (Not Was) incorporated equal parts R&B and rock, with soul vocals from Sweet Pea Atkinson and angular guitar courtesy of Wayne Kramer of the '5.

Long overdue repackaging for small yet perfectly formed back catalogue of much-missed early-'80s avant-cuties. Plus lashings of extras

Country-rock class from Rolling Stone's one-time "best male vocalist"

Dreamy lo-fi duo deliver diaphanous career-best

Italian producer's electro-soul odyssey

Superior second effort from instrumental Melbourne trio

Classic semi-conceptual drift towards Outlaw country from the godlike Willie Hugh

Girl on girl action in the San Francisco style. Get in.
