Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Associates were once described as 'The most modern band of the '80s' & with good reason. Their astonishing music had no basis in the roots of rock 'n' roll. They drew on pre-rock traditions & non-rock genres to create a startlingly different kind of noise, one that people will still be trying to make sense of in years to come. This album features 16 tracks taken from four sessions recorded for the Beeb between 1981 & 1983 & includes stunning versions of 'Waiting For The Loveboat' & 'Breakfast' as well as unique cover versions of 'Love Hangover' & 'God Bless The Child'. Strange Fruit. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Essential.......2005-10-15

This release spans the entire career and gives fans the opportunity to hear Billy paired not only with Alan Rankine and Michael Dempsey, but each of his subsequent accompanists.
The Rankine era material is fantastic and always makes me wish I had had the opportunity to see the band perform.
This is my all time favorite band, solely for their ingenuity, beautiful noise, and willingness to go way over-the top in singing and playing on occasion.
"Severe Bout..." is just numbing in its inventiveness, especially when you realize they never released it on an album proper! Altho the early material stands out best, you have to hear Billy's solo version of "God Bless the Child" to understand why Bono, Morrissey, Bowie, etc. were jealous of his vocal acrobatics. And the LP ends sweetly with a version of "Take Me to the Girl" with Billy whistling and a nice intro to Janice Long (the DJ).
This is absolutely essential for any fan. Right up there with "The Affectionate Punch," "Sulk," "The Peel Sessions" (you MUST find this!). Other releases were always patchy, but these 4 form the full portrait of the genius at work.
As Billy himself said to a reporter when asked where he'd been for a while "...I've been bathing in groovy chords..."
