RELEASE DATE

In the fall of 1978, after working with a series of bands, New York-based musician and composer
Nick West
became interested in experimenting with minimalism, collaborating with guitarist and songwriter
Ramona Jan
and
Lyn Byrd
. They decided to play pure pop but to substitute a primitive electronic beatbox for a human drummer. The result was
Comateens
, becoming one of the first groups to discard the traditional sounds and line-ups used by everyone else in New York City's downtown music scene of the late 1970s. In 1980, Nick's brother
Oliver
joined them as guitarist, and after going on to release three major label albums --
Comateens
(1981),
Pictures On A String
(1983), and
Deal With It
(1984) -- and with some successful tours and dance-club hits behind them, the band split up following the terribly untimely death of Oliver in June 1987. However, in 1988, Virgin Records issued another LP entitled
West & Byrd
, recorded by Nick and Lyn as a duo, and in 1991 released a retrospective compilation called
One By One: Best Of Comateens
, now a rare and much sought-after record among collectors of new wave music. Acclaimed by
Etienne Daho
, the band has made a name for itself with the singles "Late Night City", "Get Off My Case", and "Don't Come Back".
1980-1985
collects the band's three major label albums. Triple-LP comes in gatefold sleeve; includes eight-page booklet, printed inner sleeves, and download code.
