REPOST Request and ADD ON: From discog: In March 1977, Alternative TV were formed by Mark Perry (vocals/guitar) with guitarist, Alex Fergusson. ATV played their first gig at the Nottingham Punk Festival in May 1977. Following various line-up changes, their first album was released in May 1978.
Becoming fed up with the punk scene, Mark took ATV into areas of experimentation in late '78 and, after playing as The Good Missionaries for a few gigs, the band broke up for the first time in late 1979. They reformed in '81 split and started again in 1984 and are still currently active (as of early '08).

Many thanks for the Alternative TV rips - I was a big fan as a young teenager back in the early eighties and I am slowly rediscovering all the music I had half-forgotten about thanks to the kindness and hard work of blogs like yours.
Strange Kicks sounds incredibly fresh (thanks in no small part to the twisted pop sensibilities of Alex Ferguson) and though if I remember correctly, it was slated at the time, it actually stands the test of time far better than many punk/post-punk albums that were championed at the time.
Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work.
PS> for anyone looking for more ATV/Good Missionaries etc rips, the great dieordiy2.blogspot also has a great collection.
