Reissue (unofficial I presume?) of the 1st Metal Urbain LP. I remember seeing Geoff Travis from Rough Trade talking about these guys (whose single was the very first Rough Trade release) as the French Sex Pistols, which is kind of funny because to modern ears they really don't sound much like the Sex Pistols at all. The rhythms are much quirkier and more robotic than that, and even though they're very early Metal Urbain sound like more of a post-punk band than a '77 UK punk band. I always preferred this band's singles because I think I only ever had this LP on a discography CD (which, honestly, is a bit much for one sitting), but listening to it now this is a stone-cold banger... if you're into synth-driven punk this is definitely one that should be on your radar.

About Sorry State:
we ship every day except Monday, when we are closed. Most items ship within 24 hours most records we sell are on black vinyl, or at least the least limited version. We will not open sealed records to check the vinyl color for you, sorry all records are shipped well-packed in professional mail orders. Larger orders ($100+) are shipped double-boxed for added protection unless stated otherwise, all records are in new / unplayed condition. Note, however, that we sell many hand-assembled, DIY releases that do not come factory shrink-wrapped and may occasionally show fingerprints or other signs of light handling items are not reserved for you until you complete payment through paypal; if you choose not to pay right away there is a small chance that a customer could buy your item in our retail store, in which case you will receive a full refund. This happens extremely rarely, though we are happy to combine shipping for multiple items; ebay's shipping calculator should return the best rate for most orders
