Sorry for the delay here, folks…but to make up for it, here’s another one of those 7” grab bag posts, in which i’ve zipped up four singles for your listening pleasure, including one request from an Australian chum. Here’s the information and a quick blurb about each 7”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SPK- No More<\/em> 7” (1979)
\n1. No More
\n2. Contact
\n3. Germanik<\/p>\n

This is the very first release by Australian industrial collective SPK, and certainly one of their most primitive and direct. This one was a limited run of 200 copies, and the a-side has yet to appear on a proper CD release, though both ‘Contact’ and ‘Germanik’ are featured on their Auto-Da-F\u00e9<\/em> LP.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Metal Urbain- Panik<\/em> 7” (1977)
\n1. Panik
\n2. Lady Coca Cola<\/p>\n

One of the very first synthpunk bands…French origins. This is their first 7” single, but most of their earlier work has since been collected on the Anarchy In Paris<\/em> compilation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lars Falk- TV Eye<\/em> 7” (1985)
\n1. TV Eye
\n2. Doors<\/p>\n

Lars Falk is one of the ex-contributing members of Swedish coldwave act Twice a Man, who’s previously featured here<\/a>. Though it shares the name with the Stooges classic, the a-side is an original number.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Where’s Lisse?- Talk Takes Too Long<\/em> 7” (1981)
\n1. Talk Takes Too Long
\n2. You Stole My Gun<\/p>\n

There’s something charming about this otherwise rickety and rough record from this British four piece. This is one of two releases (they followed this with an equally scarce 12” single), and is chock full of early post-punk energy. EDIT: cover scan provied by Rudeboy Noah! Thanks a ton!<\/p>\n
