2007 digitally remastered reissue of the Post-Punk radicals influential 1979 debut album featuring one bonus track. The band's name is certainly ironic (they are the furthest thing from Pop), but there is something enchanting about their angry Post-Punk-Funk vibe. Their tribal-like rhythms and avant-garde approach to songwriting influenced a new generation of Post-Punk bands, an influence that can still be heard and felt nearly 30 years later. Vocalist Mark Stewart eventually joined Adrian Sherwood's On U Sound stable of artists while guitarist Gareth Sager went on to form Rip, Rig & Panic in the '80s and Head in the '90s. Bassist Simon Underwood helped form the funky instrumental outfit Pigbag. 11 tracks.
