Blast Off!


The Birthday Party - Release The Bats
Originally released as a 7" vinyl single on 4AD Records (AD 111) in 1981. Recreated here from digital sources in high quality lossless flac. As a youth, your friendly blogmeister was occasionally known  to try to drunkenly dance to this on student nights at the Hacienda!

  1. Blog contributor Pedro has kindly prepared a whole bunch of digital recreations of early 4AD singles (and a few albums). Link disappears in two weeks.

  2. Thought of myself as having been a 4AD completist before this current deluge of early stuff. Can't tell you how grateful I am to you and Pedro for these.

    1. Both Pedro and Steve have done some amazing work filling in the gaps in what I had. There will be more FourAD tomorrow then maybe I'll look at a few other non-4AD related for a short while ;-)
