Sanity Flies Away

 

The Teardrop Explodes - Wilder [6359 056 UK 1981 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

My 2015 rip of this flimsy Mercury Records original pressing was never going to be that great, move on a good few years when my equipment and skills have developed, I believe this is the best it will ever sound.

Wilder is a seriously under-rated album when compared to Kilimanjaro.  David Balfe, Gary Dwyer, Julian Cope & Troy Tate's psychedelic eighties pop deserves to be heard once more. 

If you just listen to snippets of my rips, today make them the two closing tracks, ...And The Fighting Takes Over and The Great Dominions.

The world today is a very different place to 1981, the cold war is over however we now have a piggy-eyed bully in the east killing indiscriminately in another country in pursuit of his sick, twisted & dated ideology.

We have a small number of blog followers in Ukraine, I really hope you are all safe. We also have about 55 followers in Russia, whilst I know your government is making serious attempts to suppress the truth about what the Russian president is doing to the wonderful & peaceful people of Ukraine, he can only keep up this slaughter of innocent people whilst he is allowed to control you. The piggy-eyed dictator's day of destiny will come and he will succumb to the fullest force of justice.
