a repost by request, originally posted 1-27-11, new rips and scans, enjoy! The Alsatians were from Canning Town, London. The bands origins were in 1976; called The Barley Wine Band, they changed their name to the Alsatians in 1978. After a number of lineup changes they recorded this record in 1980. After further lineup changes, they called it a day in 1981. I believe this was their only record, and this was never in a picture sleeve.Here's a great article at Bored Teenagers you can check out.

really great stuff. Bored Teenagers is a really great site. do you have any of the comps they made?
Hi Zach, I never picked any of them up. Anything to do with Detour is top notch, so I'm sure they're worth it. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you. Great side a, and nice instr in the b. All the best!!
oh yeah Detour is great. so are the comps.
Hi,
don`t suppose there is any chance of a reup of this.
thanks
You got it, Enjoy!
One of many could have been bands. An A side that showed such promise, bit strange that Peel chose to air the rather more early 70`s B side
That is strange. I definitely wouldn't mind hearing more from these guys. Thanks for the comment!
