Sealed Records (London) has been reissuing rare/weird/punk music since 2019. We posted about (and I bought) the excellent Dolly Mixture collection released a few months ago.
Now, releasing in July, we have a 7" from Andy Stratton (UK). Andy was a 16 year old when he recorded these songs in 1980. The drummer was from The Mob, and Andy had never played a gig on his own. Yet here he is sounding mature and appropriately punk - he sounds influenced by the Buzzcock's and The Mob. He has a bit of Wreckless Eric in him, and the tone of his guitar sounds a bit like Andy Summers.
Really, check out the Sealed Records catalogue. There's a lot to dig into - most of it comes with authentic British snarl.
