LP version. "
I read a bit of Restoration poetry and listen to
Leadbelly
, and it comes out like that
." (

,
The Monochrome Set
)
Tapete Records present a reissue of The Monochrome Set's first album
Strange Boutique
, originally released in 1980. The casual prose of pop history is full of backhanded compliments, and The Monochrome Set have received a few, ranging from "should have been massive" to "influential", numbering the likes of
Morrissey
and
Marr
,
Blur
's
Graham Coxon
and
Franz Ferdinand
's
Alex Kapranos
among their celebrity admirers. Released in February 1980, their first album
Strange Boutique
, featuring the band's percussion-heavy theme song (predating
Adam & The Ants
' "Kings of the Wild Frontier" by months) and the Johnny Marr-anticipating "Love Goes Down The Drain", caught the Monochrome Set in full flight, quickly followed by the equally taut, funny and adventurously dynamic
Love Zombies
(TR 395CD/LP).
