THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Mr Clarinet/Happy Birthday
4AD Records : AD 114
Here is an EXCELLENT copy of The Birthday Party's second single release on 4AD Records, Mr. Clarinet. The record itself is in EXCELLENT condition and plays very well. This release dates from 1981.
The Birthday Party (originally known as The Boys Next Door) were an Australian post-punk group, active from 1976 to 1983.
Despite being championed by John Peel, The Birthday Party found little commercial success during their career. Though often indirect, their influence has been far-reaching, and have been called one of "the darkest and most challenging post-punk groups to emerge in the early '80s." While their early music was sometimes classified as gothic rock, the band disdained the term, and their sound was very different from most goth music, closer to No Wave. However, the Birthday Party did have an influence on deathrock, a genre related to gothic rock.
Despite their limited commercial success, the creative core of the Birthday Party have gone on to acclaimed careers: singer and songwriter Nick Cave, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mick Harvey, and singer, songwriter and guitarist Rowland S. Howard.
The record has some light surface noise, as you would expect, and plays very well with no clicks or jumps, just some minor crackles and I would grade it EXCELLENT. The picture sleeve, is in EXCELLENT condition with only slight creasing and minor ringwear.
All records are well packaged and sent recorded delivery for my piece of mind.
No Reserve
Good Luck and Happy Bidding
