"The fifth UK Subs studio album, from 1983, remastered -- not available on CD for years. With extra tracks from singles; and now with bonus CD Gross-Out USA -- plus three never-before released demo tracks, in an all-card six-panel sleeve with unseen band photos. Albums F and G in the UK Subs A-Z series of albums. The album came at a crossroads for the UK Subs. Punk had become unfashionable, and the early line-ups had split leaving Charlie Harper to form a new band. He enlisted early Subs bassist Steve Slack (who'd left before their first recordings, replaced by his brother), drummer Steve Jones and guitarist Captain Scarlet. Navigating between the UK Subs punk ethos and wider accessible music, with many songs co-written by Slack and Scarlet, Charlie's lyrics reflected the current political paranoia of an Orwellian future, alongside hedonistic punk tales of life lived and characters met along the road. The album successfully led the band to decades of world tours and continue the now-legendary A-Z series of albums. Although the current band have given up lengthy tours, since Charlie's 80th birthday they still reconvene regularly for festivals and shorter excursions."
