The Go's (Genbaku Onanies) - On Time, Live At Open House

Alchemy ARCD019. 1991


Bought at Volume Records, Newcastle upon tyne, £8.49 (sale price).

Very playable three chord punk. Glitchy live recording, but fun enough to get past that. I haven't got a clue what they're singing as it's all in Japanese.

According to a scribbled note stuck in the case by one of the kindly staff of Volume (I'd imagine, being the kind of music this is, it'd be Lee or Has), the name translates as 'A-bomb Masturbations'. Fancy that. Come to think of it, I'd say this is the first time I've actually seen the front cover, as I'd never removed the note.

One of the more obscure items on my shelves, and there it shall stay.
