A band that mixed the stark, stern pulse of Joy Division with a
Stranglers-styled gut punch, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry’s discography has
experienced an embarrassment of riches since about 2002, with one
excellent compilation after another appearing. This three-disc set is
another winner, and while it’s fatter than most other sets and ignores
the band’s later years on RCA, the contents are still quite desirable.
Disc one features the band’s 1985 album Talk About the Weather while
disc two features 1986’s Paint Your Wagon, both discs rounded out by
singles and B-sides. Disc three includes the band’s sessions for BBC
radio from 1983-1984, plus the physical release comes with a booklet
filled with essays and reproductions of artwork…
