  Yeah Yeah Noh - Cutting The Heavenly Lawn Of Greatness.. [IT 021 UK 1985 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] ..Last Rites For The God Of Love. Once upon a time, Yeah Yeah Noh were one of the most important indie-rock bands of their era. Championed by the mighty Peel, adored by thousands of British indie-pop fans, their dry humour and injection of psychedelia into indie-rock is legendary (in Leicester). I've featured a few Yeah Yeah Noh singles and EPs over the years, here for the first time is their debut album in totally unnecessary high resolution 176.4kHz FLAC. A1 Temple Of Convenience A2 Prick Up Your Ears A3 Married Miss New Jersey A4 Starling Pillowcase A5 Houdini A6 Susie's Party A7 Panacea's Pictures A8 She Said She Said B1 Stealing In The Name Of The Lord B2 Home-Ownersexual B3 The Short-Cut Way To Saturday B4 Crimplene Seed Lifestyle B5 See Through Nature B6 Zoological Gardens B7 Blood Soup

  Yeah Yeah Noh - Another Side To Mrs. Quill [ITTI 020 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC] This is a brand new rip of Mrs. Quill as my first back in 2015 was every so crackly. Our heroes go all Hank Marvin on the excellent instrumental, Penetration . Mrs. Quill gets two mixes of her own, whereas Wendy's In The Woods is classic Yeah Yeah Noh, scathingly ironic as ever, it is also the first song I have ever heard which covers the unusual British past-time of dogging & Paul McCartney. A1 Another Side To Mrs. Quill (Magic Roundabout Mix) B1 Penetration B2 Wendy's In The Woods B3 Mrs. Quill

  Yeah Yeah Noh - Temple Of Convenience EP [ITTI 023 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC] Next up is another from the wonderful Yeah Yeah Noh. Leicester's finest released their final single as an expanded 12" featuring a fuzzy rough live track by psychedelic Diesel Park West alter-ego The Psychedelic Filberts, backed with the superb seven minute opus in three parts, Jigsaw featuring a plethora of John Peel cut-ups. Again this is a cleaned up version of my 2016 rip.

  Yeah Yeah Noh - When I am A Big Girl [IT 016 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC] Moving on from the mainstream, here is a short run of posts as a tribute to British indie label In Tape Records. If you listened to Peel back in the day then most of these acts will be very familiar, no more so than the mighty Yeah Yeah Noh. These satirical cottagers (can I still say that these days?) return with a brief compilation of their wonderful early In Tape 7" EPs. Many will struggle (especially non-Brits) with their irony these days. More of a thinking man's Half Man Half Biscuit with a touch of The Fall - you had to be around back then enjoying Peel, everything he played and understand mid-eighties Leicester to get what this fabulous beat combo were actually on about.  Champions of irony, Yeah Yeah Noh dedicated their debut Cottage Industry 7" EP to the burgeoning eighties music industry and how many a major label spent £££££s investing in bands from the supposed indie scene, seeking out the n...
