Eton Crop – Peel Sessions 1983-1988 (2016) @320

 

* Eton Crop were an indie / post punk band formed in 1979 in Nieuwkoop, Netherlands, and released a total of 12 singles and four albums over the next 15 years. Frequent visitors to the UK, they toured with many of the "pre-C86" groups like The Membranes and The Three Johns, the latter with whom they shared a not too dissimilar musical approach. While many groups from that era downed tools towards the end of the decade, Eton Crop battled on into the mid-nineties, their last full length album, Get Real!, appearing (on cd) in 1992, eventually bowing out in 1994 with the 4 track ep Everybody. The band later changed their name to the E.C. Groove Society and started producing techno music until 2003. Recently the band reformed under Eton Crop and performed in Stockton, Teesside, UK at the Peel Regenerated Festival in 2014. *

* Despite the BBC logo on the back cover, this is not a BBC release. It was assembled by the band and sold through Bandcamp, with a limited vinyl pressing of 300 copies. The tracks are numbered sequentially. The band recorded 5 BBC sessions in total. *
