Agent Orange - living in darkness LP

  • posh boy. pbs 122 / 8 tracks / 1981
  • RI (CD): posh boy / 1990 (?)
  • RI: D: gift of life. 003 / 1989 (?)
  • RI (CD): rhino / wea. / 16 tracks / 1992
  • + lyric sheet. First press has yellow labels, repress has silver labels. US and German CD reissues add tracks from Bitchin Summer 12”. I also heard about a US CD with Symbol Six 12” bonus tracks but I can’t confirm. Rhino version (new sleeve design) adds Bloodstains 7”, Bitchin Summer 12” and an 1981 interview.
  • I never quite understood how they made their bizarre blend of surf, goth and punk work, but this is definitely a classic. Razor sharp guitar sound, cool surf beat, great melodies and Mike’s voice… perfect. Fantastic Posh Boy production, too. [9]  
  • Ich habe nie ganz begriffen, wie Surf und der (etwas aufgesetzte) Horrortrip der Band zusammenpassen… nun ja. Auf jeden Fall eins der Highlights auf dem Posh Boy Label; schneidende, rhythmische Gitarren, dazu der coole Surf-Beat (um-papa-um-pa), geniale Melodien und Mikes tolle Stimme… superb. Die fantastische Posh-Boy-Produktion tut ein übriges, um die Platte in die HC-Walhalla zu heben. Legende.
  • Tracks: too young to die / everything turns grey / miserlou / the last goodbye // no such thing / a cry for help in a world gone mad / bloodstains / living in darkness
