Do you ever have those bands, where the name floats around forever, but for some reason you never actually get around to listening to them? Leatherface is one of those bands. This is the first time I’ve listened to an album start to finish, and it’s really good! Don’t know why it took me so long.
The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts (1978)
I always have a hard time with favourites. It depends so much on mood or day of the week, and I could probably come up with at least a couple for every genre and sub-genre. However, the Adverts debut full length has always been near the top, ever since I first heard it in my early teenage years.
Since I’m not going to vote for my own pick for our first Album Club, I’ll just throw my thoughts on the release in this first post here. Sort of a preview of the type of thing I’m hoping the album club threads will contain I guess.
1978 was an interesting year. The Sex Pistols abrasive angst kept going strong with bands like X-Ray Spex, Billy Idol was practicing his radio friendly pop in Generation X, and the Clash put out what might be my least favourite of their albums in Give em Enough Rope.
At the time, something about those original 11 tracks on Crossing the Red Sea, just seemed different. Better written, more poetic, deeper or something. Tracks like Safety in Numbers were already getting bored with the state of the current UK punk scene, as it started morphing into something different. Tracks like No Time to be 21, though nothing super original conceptually, just seemed to hit different. And of course they had a few of their previously released standard singles like One Chord Wonders.
Start to finish I think this is a solid album, and it’s still in the regular rotation today. I’ve sadly never owned an original pressing, but finally picked up the 2011 gatefold reissue earlier this spring, which must be my 4 or 5th copy of this album over the years.
I have a lot more indexers than that, and not much better luck. You really need a private torrent tracker if you want to automate books. Every few years I look into a way to automate it more like movies & TV with just usenet and public trackers, but every few years I don’t turn up much. I have Readarr running, but it rarely finds anything except the most mainstream bestseller type results. Just doing things manually with something like Anna’s Archive or Libgen is really the only thing that works well. Results for comics work better, but I can’t stand Mylarr’s interface, so have always just manually done that too when I have the urge.

This is not entirely uncommon due to versioning. The network TV version might have aired in a different order from the later released DVD boxset, or the US version aired in a different order than the EU version, etc. Instead of refreshing metadata, try using the Identify option. Under each of the results it will show the source, so pick the one that matches the episode order you want.

Not sure how I’ve managed to miss hearing these guys before, but they’re pretty solid.

Turns out Sunday Album Club #1 won’t go out until Monday night, since I’m out of town/away from the internet this weekend.
