Essential Bop - Chronicles  ACDR 012

21 tracks on this compilation from psychedelic bandits 'Essential Bop' who between 1978 and 1985 released as eclectic a bunch of recordings as could be gathered together under the 'post-punk' banner. Comprising a bunch of degenerate refugees from Bristol Bands such as the Cortinas and other mutant outfits, Essential Bop carved a bizarre path between punk, prog and psychedelia. Tipped by Paul Morley (NME) to be one of the bands to go big in the 80', (which they quite obviously didn't). Check them out.
