Format:Audio CD
Not having heard these tracks for some time, I was worried that my fond memories of the band were coloured through nostalgia. However, the wit and intelligence of the band (who, if you don't know them, could probably be described as a more angular, less industrial Fall, fronted by a more avuncular, more Midland Mark E. Smith, though that doesn't really tell you what they sound like) shine through twenty years on. Tracks like 'Which Hi-Fi,' 'Paraffin Brain' and 'Use Your Loaf' are fresher than those recorded at the time by much more successful groups.
The (almost unreadable) sleeve notes tell a tale of missed opportunities and broken friendships, but this is a worthy testament to a band who should not be forgotten.
Now we just need a reissue for Robert Lloyd's exceelent solo LP - 'Funeral Stomp' is surely one of the greatest unheard singles ever recorded.

The Nightingales started out in the early 80's (the Prefects being a former incarnation) and were a firm favourite with music critics and in particular John Peel (RL has recorded more sessions for JP than any other artist except the Fall), but didn't have much commercial success. I would describe the music as the bastard off-spring of the Wedding Present and Captain Beefheart. Rob's lyrics are up there amongst the best ever in rock.

snatches from a masterpeice
26 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
The 1980's knew at least one absolute postpunk masterpiece which went by unnoticed: In the Good Old Country Way by the Nightingales. This band started out in line with early the Fall, but on that third album, after pleny changes of personnel, they opened up an entire new musical universe, Kinks-like, though with violin, a wide range of stylistic phantasy, and so much more. Each and every selection was sheer tension, wit, passion and life. All of this was the brainchild of vocalist and main songsmith Robert Lloyd, one of the most impressive voices I've ever heard. In retrospect the two earlier albums Pigs on Purpose and Hysterics sound relatively dated, though they do comprise several wonderful postpunk songs. Now on this compilation you will find several gems from these three albums, and they should not be missed. Yet, In the Good Old Country Way should absolutely reissued in full some day!!!
