notes

Version by The Members is an album of cover versions of originals by Buzzcocks, The Ramones, The Lurkers
The Kinks, David Bowie, Prince, Velvet Underground John Holt, Gregory Isaacs, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Dillinger, Grandmaster Flash and Abbad.

This compilation goes right back to the roots of Punk and Reggae in the UK.

JC Carroll first heard the Dillinger track 'Cokane In My Brain' when Don Letts played it at the Roxy Club in 1977. With Chris Payne he saw shows by The Heartbreakers and the Lurkers at the Vortex. They pay tribute to the late Pete Shelley on two tracks with radical reworking of two Buzzcocks classics.

This album highlights the band's enduring love affair with reggae, with Paul Taylor(Trombone) echoing the work of Rico Rodriguez.

As always with The Members there are shades of 80’s electronic music never far from the surface as they demonstrate the skills they learned from Fad Gadget and Martin Rushent.

Track 14 listed as "Waiting For My Man"
