“what I got was plenty, and the rest is just bitter onions” - Dorian Corey

Came across these playlists from the summer of 1982 on Discogs. They’re by the members of British band 400 Blows and I guess were included with their first single release, Beat the Devil. Not sure what the genre name of choice is these days for bands like 400 Blows…punk/funk? Industrial funk? Andrew Weatherall included their “Black & White Mix Up” (mixed by Mad Professor) on his excellent “Nine O’Clock Drop” compilation. Anyway, I thought these lists give a flavor of the eclectic influences that informed this scene back then; it’s not often you see Imagination and Throbbing Gristle on the same playlist…
