Label: Plastic Records; Year: 1980; Format: Vinyl EP
UK Decay are one of the best examples for a band that managed to cross from one genre to another one as they were spearheading a movement that would become to be known as goth in the early '80s. This outstanding 4-song EP released in January 1980 is still steeped deeply in their punk rock roots, but each song already hints at what was to come and was proof of the immense talent this band had/has to offer. The song arrangements are intelligent, well thought through and executed with such craftsmanship that even though over 30 years have passed since the release of this EP, these tracks stand the test of the time and have become timeless hits. This is definitely a classic, and one that can still easily be obtained so no reason to miss out here!
