Part of the Optic Sevens 4.0 Reissue series. Before the term "indie pop" had even been invented, The Chefs had already nailed it. Formed by Carl Evans and Helen McCookerybook, they first appeared on the Vaultage 79 compilation before releasing two singles for the Brighton based Attrix Records. They recorded two sessions for the John Peel Show and one for Richard Skinner briefly changing their name to Skat and then disbanding. Helen went onto success and a major label deal with Helen And The Horns. Yellow vinyl; includes postcard and poster.
