Rear sleeve hype: "Deep magic from the late 70s heyday of British DIY. Bedrooms in Carlisle, Hastings, Buntingford buzzed. No subject matter was taboo for these groups, no sound too primitive. Using a network of cheap local studiosm the weekly music press and Radio 1 airplay from John Peel, their shared manifesto was "It was easy, it was cheap, go and do it!"
