The Curse Of The Higsons

I upped a low-fi mp3 version of this album a few years ago, and it's now time to re-rip to 24-bit flac. Back then I was very unkind about Charlie Higson given his current status in the UK as a social commentator, writer and general personality. Between 1981 and 1984, Charlie had his own band and they were really quite good. Their unique style of quirky pop-punk-funk was good fun, and together with The Farmers Boys and the wonderful Serious Drinking, the Popular Sound of Norwich was born. Unlike The Farmers Boys, The Higsons never broke through into the big time, but after a series of great singles followed by the album, they did have the chance to leave their mark on British pop.

Ripped from a vinyl album released on Upright Records (UPLP 6) in 1984 to high resolution 24-bit FLAC audio.
