Thanks so much for posting this Longy!! Truly appreciated... This is some of the best of the internet - sharing (long out-of-print) stuff with interested strangers with no other motive than generosity. I'd be amazed if this stuff ever sees a proper reissue, but if so i'll be first in the queue. You're spoiling us with all these Wall posts!! The more I hear them, the more I think this band were totally under-rated & overlooked. To support the band, readers can still get the CD "The Punk Collection" [in fact a selection] from Captain Oi Records. Don't suppose you have either of these? 1) Hobby For A Day 7" [has 2 songs unavailable on the CD]; 2) the free 7" that came with Dirges & Anthems - features 3 songs otherwise unavailable (Plastic Smiles/Missing Presumed dead/Victims of Future Wars). Cheers, Longy! the blog's a bleedin' winner!!

Thanks for your comments James. You will find Hobby For A Day 7'' over at the excellent Kill Your Pet Puppy site. Just use the search feature on the site and you'll find it.

As for the bonus 7'' well I totally forgot about that! I have got it on the HD although its pretty low sound quality and no cover (if there ever was one?) I'll post it right under the link for this album for you asap.

F***in' hell that was quick! This is SERIOUSLY appreciated - thanks once again!! - never thought I'd be able to track this one down. The quality is fine by me, not bad at all! (The only copy I've seen was in a friend's brand new copy of the LP, and it just came in a plain white sleeve). And I'm a regular visitor to KYPP, but I somehow missed their Hobby For A Day post... Thanks again, Longy! This is fast becoming my fave blog on the net...

Your welcome Andy. Nice to see yet another oldie on here that can remember decent music.
