I first got this CD with the generic title Compact
Disc back in the mid 1980s, (recommended by one of my buddies, well
insisted really) then for some reason a few years later I sold it. I don't remember when or why, the why was obviously to get some buckage. Back
then the first time I heard it, I didn't really like it except for the second
track Rise which I tend to like, probably because it's so
simple. A few months before reviewing this album, I searched for my copy but couldn't find it, because
I wanted to hear that song. Well long story short I managed to find a copy off
Ebay for cheap.
I enjoyed this album a lot, unfortunately its so generic sounding, there is
little that stands up and grabs me, but I like it anyway.
This generic album has a nice light punk rock sound. The vinyl version is titled guess what? Album and
the cassette version titled Cassette (if there were an 8-Track
version that would have been called 8-Track). I suppose you could say it was softcore punk as opposed to
hardcore. Public Image, LTD sounds like a cross between a
typical UK punk band and REM, with a little Talking Heads tossed
in.
Oh BTW for the first track titled FFF (all the tracks have
simple titles, thus the generic feel to the album) stands for Farewell Fairweather Friends
I'd like to find sealed copies of the Cassette version and the album versions
to put on display around my music collection. Newer remastered editions of this "album" is called "album" even on the CD versions.
