I found the reissued Art Objects' album (CD on Cherry Red) for peanuts here a few weeks ago and I've been listening to it loads - they're the band who evolved into the Blue Aeroplanes and it sounds very similar to the BA's Bop Art debut...

That's the sleeve I have - purchased in our local Woolworths for 49p after it had dropped out of the singles chart. It's my favourite period of New Order, when they still sounded austere and mysterious...

I've sold lots of records (to buy new ones) over the years, but I've hung onto all my Incas vinyl so I must've liked them more than most. I still get memory-dread remembering some of the recs I shortsightedly got rid off when I was young and skint... (groan)

I really liked them around the time of their Rumble LP. Looking back, they were probably a Birthday Party substitute to some extent but their raucous live shows were very good.
