DIVERT OFF CENTRE obscure new wave 7" flexi disc 1982 punk kbd diy

Artist: DIVERT OFF CENTRE

Title: THE OH SO DIVERSE PLASTIC NEW ART

Format: 7-inch flexi-disc

Label: ?

Year: 1982

Style: new wave, post punk

Info: Very rare and obscure one-sided picture flexi disc 7".

This was probably either self-released or came with a fanzine as there is no catalogue number, and is unclear as to the label, although on the actual disc it says "(c) 1982 New Art".

Comes in original stapled-together photocopied paper sleeve, which has a plain paper inner sleeve held inside by the two staples.

Formed in Lytham, Lancashire - not a million miles away from the Vegas of the North - Divert Off Centre were the self-styled pioneers of alternative dance beat. The band was associated with the ‘Blackpool Rox’ scene of the early eighties, however, their camped up performances and overblown lyrics set them apart from their punky/oi contemporaries.

The first song on this disc eventually topped the ‘Sounds Obscurist Chart’. This was followed by the inclusion of ‘Love In Ephemeral…I Confess' on the Lightbeat Records compilation, ‘A Drop In The Ocean’ - the song peaked at 7 on the aforementioned chart. After a couple of years of inactivity D.O.C. evolved into The October Group, moved to Amsterdam in ‘86 and put out a 12” single, ‘Colours’. The song was favourably reviewed in the NME who described it as, “Compelling for it’s subversive undertones.” Although the band split up a year later their songs have turned up on the Messthetics compilations, and continue to receive airplay on alternative radio shows both in Europe and The States.

Two tracks:-

A) INSTANT DEATH AND IMMORTALITY

B) POST MORTEM

Disc in near mint condition and plays as well as a flexi is ever going to play,with no scuffs or scratches. There are just four very small and minor thumbnail creases but only one is in the actual playing area and does not affect play.
