The history of this band is pretty well documented, both here and many other places all over the internets. These three songs come from 1985, after some folks probably thought KRONSTADT UPRISING was past their prime, and indeed these tracks are much more polished than the earlier demo I posted, but this is still ultra catchy brooding UK punk, and the songs keep growing on me...I even find myself humming along to the initially ridiculous backing "aaahh-aaahhs" in "The Horsemen," much to my own dismay. "The Horsemen," along with "Part Of The Game," appeared on the Part Of The Game EP (which Tim Yo referred to in MRR as "78 in 85," and I'd say that is pretty accurate...but then the dude did know his punk rock pretty well), and this cassette adds the sleazy sounding "Live For Today."
