The Gags : Who's Afraid Of Virginia Fetish ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
"...The Gags hit us with one of the most appealing punk albums in recent times...Best moments include 'The Woman Inside', 'The Girl Who Invented The French Kiss', 'Stuart Sutcliffe Combo' and 'Don't Leave No Stain', but it's very hard to spot weak moments in 'Who's Afraid...'. What a comeback...".
RockSound
"An album fueled by the Gags' leanings towards the dark, theatrical aspects of punk...decadence and sex obsessions pervade wonderful, ambiguous episodes as 'Ankle Straps', 'The Woman Inside', 'A Lovely Place To Have A Go' and 'Stuart Sutcliffe Combo'. 'Who's Afraid Of Virginia Fetish ?' is an important conceptual work. It proves that the idea standing behind punk is more important than punk itself".

"Full of great info and photos, extracts from fanzines, newsletters and artwork, this is an essential collectable for Ants completists".
Record Collector
"This truly is special..... The colour fetishy shots from onstage in Milan are also just about the best early Ants pics I have ever seen. An essential purchase".
The Mick
"A wonderful book.....perfect punk graphix, splendid never-before-seen photos, in-depht gig reviews, interviews and letters.....This 80-pages long tribute works as an instant picture about an idea of punk which unfortunately isn't around anymore. Indispensable."
Rumore
"Everything here is vintage: photos, interviews, extracts from fanzines and Adam Ant's autographed letters.....A treasure for every fan of his early, rawest days"

The Gags : Criss Cross (1979-1981)
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
"24 tracks which have become a legend to italian punk aficionados.....Tough and yet elegant, simple but adventurous.....Their aesthetic is filled with literary and cinematic references bringing together decadentism, neo-realism, bondage, noir, S/M and english pop art.....100% punk......and they still hurt"

"A document of remarkable historical value.....Rough, basic, minimalistic punk-rock, sometimes in a dark vein. The songs are taken from demo tapes and from ultrarare 1979-1984 singles...A top rate release with great musical contents.'.
Rumore
"A piece of sado-punk history, Italian style..... '78-'82 era. It's a
portrait of Milan via fanzines like 'Xerox' and, last but not least, Glezos
(the creative mastermind behind all the groups). All this is well documented in a thick, accurate CD booklet. The bands are so pure and naive they leave you speechless. Listen up !".
Il Manifesto
This comes as a real surprise ! ...True, ultrarare gems from illustriously unknown groups such as HUNS, SCHWARZ OF GALIORKA, GAGS and MITTAGEISEN's single. All these bands came from Milan, 1979-1982 era, and they played raw, original punk music. A piece of our history !"

"What we have here is not just music but also interviews, radio announcements and crowd noises.....An issue of great historical value, and not only in musical terms, for this CD succeeds in re-creating the atmosphere of early italian punk. All the more interesting".

Schwarz Of Galiorka: 'Tapes Of Mistery And Imagination'
|

"Evocative and fascinating, with a strong, theatrical flavoured sound.....If released back then, this album would have made history.....Get it, if you think punk is about change"
