A bit of a rarity this 3-track EP by The Boy Hairdressers on Stephen Pastel's 53rd & 3rd label. From the ashes of this band rose the mighty and fabulous Teenage Fanclub. World-renowned, contemporary visual artist, Jim Lambie, was also a member of this short-lived outfit. Lambie's most recent installation is 'The Album Pathway'; created as part of the commission for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme. In total more than 2000 bands are referenced in the work.
I've already featured this disc in a previous post but this one is a shot of the label on the actual vinyl. I've also updated the photo of the cover art at my Flickr page.

Will be back soon with some news on the upcoming Testament release; a comprehensive 'best of' collection by The Wake on Factory Benelux.
