Life's A Scream

 

A Certain Ratio - Life's A Scream [FAC 112 UK 1984 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

We haven't had any ACR in a while, so here is their 1984 come-back single, Life's A Scream. Having endured a few comings & goings since 1982, the band settled on a solid line-up of Jez Kerr on vocals and bass, Martin Moscrop on guitar, Andy Connell on keyboards and Donald Johnson on drums & percussion. 

Quite different to what had come before, the single proved a more maturing sound which was to eventually result in their well received Force album. It also marked Kerr's debut on vocals, a position he has maintained ever since.

      Many thanks for this. I always wondered why there were airplanes featured on many of the ACR 80's album artwork. A rip of Brazilia would be awesome too.

    Thanks - Have you got the other OBI wrapped ACR 12'' from this period "Brazilia"? That is a personal favourite and a mighty fine sounding disc.

      Hi. I do and it was ripped at the same time but failed 'quality control' so will be released and posted as soon as time allows.

      Thank you, an old Ratio favourite. Also hoping for "Brazilia" when it is ready, keep up the good work.
