Vinyl LP pressing of The Pop Group's Alien Blood, which was previously only available as part of a box set. y is the highly influential and innovative debut album by The Pop Group, released in 1979. In the same year The Pop Group released their single 'She is Beyond Good & Evil'. Alien Blood is the result of the band's meticulous process of revisiting the original 2Inch tapes of their studio sessions and recordings, unearthing never-before-heard material, whilst exposing the raw skeletons of iconic tracks such as the original velocity of InchThief of Fire (Bass Addict)Inch. Alien Blood reveals the life of y before everything was finalized, exposing revelatory dimensions within these iconic works.
The Pop Group's seminal album y has been given a complete dub reworking by the album's original producer and British reggae legend Dennis InchBlackbeardInch Bovell (Fela Kuti, Bananarama, Linton Kwesi Johnson). This new version of the album features reimagined arrangements of the original album's tracks with mind-bending space echoes and a plethora of other studio effects. Originally released in 1979, y represents a stunning culmination of The Pop Group's crucial nonconformity. Preceded by a meteoric rise in recognition, y firmly realized the latent potential of the group's early years. From playing Bristol youth clubs to early gigs supporting Pere Ubu and Patti Smith to gracing the front covers of NME and Melody Maker, The Pop Group's progression to the forefront had been swift. y is ranked by The Wire as one of the 100 Most Important Records Ever Made and by Pitchfork as one of the Best Albums of the '70s.
