Idles – Brutalism LP / Original 1st Balley Records Pressing / Brown Inner Sleeve
Very Rare Original First pressing Balley Records version (BALLEY001). This was sealed but I opened it to thoroughly check the pressing. Sleeve is still shrink wrapped, only opened along the one side to get the record out. Gatefold sleeve with heavyweight brown card inner. Side B is labelled Side 'F'. Comes with download code which has not been used. This is an Original first pressing. Matrix codes are etched on vinyl (as shown in the picture I took. You are unlikely to find an unplayed copy like this of this first pressing on black vinyl. Bristol’s finest post-punk polemics Idles have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their debut album Brutalism they absolutely fulfil that promise, and a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, Idles are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, they are a band that until now could only be truly understood by witnessing in a live environment - but with Brutalism it surely feels like they have captured the intensity of that live sound. Bottled up here are the abrasive, memorable lyrics of Joseph Talbot delivered with all of the spite and wry humour he puts across on the stage. Dedicated in part to the loss of his mother, who adorns the record’s cover, and partly to a perceived decimation of society, from the NHS to public services across Britain, Brutalism is a deadly serious indictment on popular culture.
