Neutron - The First Fifteen Minutes
A rather special & somewhat obscure 7" 33rpm 4 track EP, released in 1979 on Sheffield's Neutron Records. The label was owned by Steve Singleton and Mark White of local electronic group, Vice Versa. They eventually recruited a local singer Martin Fry, bought gold lame suits and rechristened themselves as ABC. The first and best selling ABC album, The Lexicon of Love was actually released on Neutron.
The important fact about this EP was that it was Clock DVA's first vinyl release with the track Brigade.
Of the other groups, The Stunt Kites were just bad punk, Vice Versa owed more to early Kraftwerk than the local electronic pioneers and I'm So Hollow had limited, mostly local, success with their post-punk dirge.
