Editorial Reviews

A Pospunk Classic from the Band that was in the Same Class with the Mekons and Gang of Four. Their Feistiness Came Thru Every Groove with Lyrics Dealing with the Conservative Times in the UK'S Thatcher Era and a Liberated Sexuality. The CD Issue Add Eight Tracks that Never Appeared on the Original Issue of the Album.

When I heard Au Pairs in the early eighties, I knew they was what I was looking for: Intelligent music. They brought us a new concept in making and playing music. It's simply a masterpiece, and an advance for the music we've heard during the next decade. Buy it! Please!

I first heard the album(vinyl) back in '85 and thought they were quite clever. I've been looking for the vinyl version since '95 and am glad to see it is on CD. The additional tracks are of course a bonus but the seet strains of "Headache for Michelle" and "Armaggh" stand the test of time. Forget about their obvious political sensibilities, the music alone is worth a listen.
