Original UK Compilation MLP released on Tuzmadoner Records in 1980. Includes insert.

Mega Rare UK DIY Post Punk MLP.

From the blogs:

The Tuzmadoner label put out just two releases 1978’s Shish EP by The Different I’s and 1980’s Folk Music compilation. The latter a truly fascinating document of the post punk DIY ethic featuring two tracks each by Different I's, Infra-Red Icecubes , Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mark O'Brien.

I can find virtually no information about any of these except Different I’s and I must thank Hyped2Death.com's Messthetics pages for what I do know:
- Simon Gilham, Des McManus and Geoff Watts got together in late 1977 along with 'non musical' friend Royston
- John Peel promptly hailed Shish as the worst record-sleeve he had ever seen
- "This Week" probably features the world's first-ever duck call solo
- Geoff Watts and Royston went on to Hibi Yaki (who are equally obscure), while Simon Gillham played with Colin Newman and later paired with Simon Fellowes in New Wave duo Intaferon who released 3 singles but never an album.
- Tuzmadoner? was the stock response at the corner kebab-stand when the skint band members ordered two small doner-kebabs between three.

All of the 8 tracks share a post punk feel and are characterised by heavy bass, an experimental structure and a genuine musical ambition.

Of the four artists, The Infra-Red Ice Cubes are perhaps the most edgily experimental. Secrets is a 5'22" instrumental piece reminiscent of This Heat and the krautrock of Neu!. Common Garret seems to me to be before it's time with its use of an Eastern European folk style violin sound over drone.
Mark O'Brien offers more immediate song based fare with a pop-(post-)punk flavour.
The Different I's perhaps best exemplify the willingness of these artists to flaunt conventional song structure with their employment of a huge range of styles, technique and instrumentation (including the aforementioned duck call solo).
Chancellor of the Exchequer have elements of Joy Division in Yellow Room but are more interesting on Scientific American which juxtaposes a bewildering array of vocal styles to great effect.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.

*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
