Cleaners From Venus Getting Box Set

This is excellent news & I can't wait to get it. For those of you who are interested, here's the link to Martin Newell's website:

I can only begin to tell you how badly I want a Jazz Butcher box set.

That would be great, but I'd prefer somebody to just reissue his entire discography. There probably isn't a label selfless (suicidal?) enough to take that on though.

I had totally forgotten about this CFV release. It's on MOG (and I suppose Spotify as well). Suffice to say, this stuff is wonderful. The dub influence was completely unexpected, but works brilliantly. Much more varied than I thought it would be, given their limitations (financial, not musical). I love getting to hear these bands that I'd only been able to read about back in the 80s/90s.

Proof that the English just do it better.

It's on Spotify; I was listening to it a while ago. Surprised me. I had heard of them but wouldn't have know what they would sound like.

If you have an extra hour, this is a very entertaining interview with Martin:
