Recorded at three different venues across 1981-82, this 12" ep appeared posthumously in 1986. With The Chills beginning to receive wider acclaim in the western world, it would seem interested was being generated in Flying Nun bands past and present. The Clean were seen as the forefathers of whatever the NZ scene was being pigeonholed as, so it seemed appropriate for a reappraisal via this collection of previously unreleased songs. In 1988 the three members by chance found themselves in London with their current individual projects and decided to play an impromptu gig at the Fulham Greyhound. Selections from this performance were released on the In-A-Live ep later that year, inspiring the trio into an off/on reformation that continues to this day.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.
