Ready In The Rhythm Section

The Syndromes vs Merciful Release All-Stars Featuring The Impossible Dreamers ‎- Ready In The Rhythm Section [MR-2 UK 1980 24-Bit FLAC]

Now this one I have never ripped and posted until now, Ready In The Rhythm Section is a rare album with London new-wave punks The Syndromes having side one to themselves, The Merciful Release All-Stars get the other with a bit of help from post-punk funskters The Impossible Dreamers. The Syndromes never released again, The Merciful Release All-Stars became Hamburger All-Stars and The Impossible Dreamers went on to record the important indie dance hits Life On Earth & Spin, before going mellow with a deal on RCA Records.

It used to be a common error to associate The Merciful Release All-Stars with The Sisters Of Mercy - there was no link whatsoever. No Yorkshire goths were harmed as a result of this album, however it is of note that Andrew Eldritch chose to continue with the same catelogue number system for his Merciful Release label, and as the enclosed scans show, the London label were the first Merciful Release.

For fans of low fidelity energetic post-punk new wave everywhere!
