Part of The Optic Sevens 4.0 reissue series.
The Monochrome Set
were something of the unsung heroes of the post-punk world; they fitted into absolutely no category whatsoever and their puckish take on spaghetti western soundtracks meets lounge jazz via the twisted lyrical imagery of vocalist
Bid
was as singular as it was unique. Comprising a couple of ex-

, with singer/guitarist Bid and drummer
JD Haney
, their filmic, playful material found favor with many, including

twang bends and reverb as a counterpoint. Red vinyl; includes postcard and poster.
