here's an MX-80 Sound compilation
a weird ol' band that no-one seems to give a damn about anymore but who actually rule. they hung around on Ralph Records in the post-punk era when the Residents were doing their best stuff. they still make albums and stuff too. everything on this compilation is from their earliest days, I haven't delved deeper so far. |
