about

In 1997 it became apparent that the first few Pumf releases had stopped selling, and so it was decided to discontinue their availability. To prevent them from being lost forever, however, a 90-minute compilation of the best bits was assembled. Features the musics of A-void, Of Sound Mind, The Howl in the Typewriter (duo), Sign Language, The People’s Temple, Henry’s Farm and Henry. It's a useful window back to a time of youthful spirit and energy between 1984 and 1987, but my goodness me, that recording quality’s dreadful . . . at least it's re-mastered.

Originally released by Pumf Records in 1997 on cassette, with an option for a CD-R version introduced around 2000, and still available from Pumf Records. To buy a tangible copy go to www.batcow.co.uk/pumf/pumf.htm#280.

Visit the Pumf Records website at www.pumf.net for more info (reviews, video links etc.) - you could also go straight to www.youtube.com/user/PumfRecords/videos for the official Pumf Records video channel.

Pumf Records has tried to ensure that all the featured artistes approve of their music being used on Bandcamp, but the length of time since original release has, in some cases, made this problematic.
If you are one of those featured artistes, were not contacted and object to your music appearing here, please use the 'contact' link on this page and let Pumf Records know so that we can resolve the problem.
