Superb Cravats 16 Nov 2006
Format:Audio CD
Sub-titled 'the best of Jazz-Punk colossals', this music is actually pretty hard to label. Listen to some of the music on The Cravats website and decide what genre you want to put it in. This long awaited compilation brilliantly captures The Cravats at their quirky and original best. Favourites of John Peel, Jello Biafra, and Steve Albini, the Cravats never gained the recognition they deserved, putting out a couple of wonderful albums and a series of fantastic singles. This double CD contains 32 songs and nearly two hours of music. Every song is a mini-masterpiece. Buy this, you will not regret it.

Hidden Gem 7 Jun 2010
By Paul G
Format:Audio CD
Having lived in Redditch for many years in the 1970s and 1980s I knew The Cravats reasonably well. I had a vinyl copy of their first album and a couple fo singles. Unfortunately I "lost" the album but this compilation CD more than makes up for it. I have to confess that I had not listened to the band for more than 20 years but this is a real breath of fresh air. There are a couple of interesting omissions (the excellent "Burning Bridges") but there was actually a lot of their later stuff that I was not familiar with. It takes a couple of listens to get your head into it but it is the aural equivalent of watching the film Eraserhead - quite dark, brooding, menacing with quite a lot of humour too. And you're not quite sure what's going on.....

The bass sound is reminiscent of the Stranglers although musically Devo and a range of other diverse influences are obviously at play. This is a great CD and a real hidden gem. You casn see why the late John Peel was such a fan. Mind you, I'm not sure that he would have envisaged The Shend turning up on East Enders.....another Surreal/ Dadaist masterstorke perhaps?

The Very Thing 27 Nov 2006
Format:Audio CD
Hard to describe this, 80's english eccentrics, maybe? Enjoyable obscurism.
Good bass lines from The Shend, mad saxaphone & madder lyrics.
