Now thrice-re-issued so I'm not going to ramble on and on about this excellent record. For a fuller exploration of the wonders of Josef K have a read of Brian's excellent missives on their unreleased debut 'Sorry For Laughing' or the compilation 'Entomology'.

The only things you need to know is that this is their properly released debut and it influenced many things that came after such as most of the C86 scene, then later the wave of dark, angular guitar bands that circled the Franz Ferdinand/Interpol axis. Scratchy, energetic, brilliant, Josef K were waaay ahead of the game and this record never dates. Comes with bonus 7" tracks, a John Peel session and an art print. A must.
