MISSION OF BURMA “VS.” Lp  

Original Pressing 

Ace of Heart Rec.

1982

Vinyl & Cover : Near Mint

Formed in February 1979 when guitarist/vocalist Roger Miller and bassist/vocalist Clint Conley, fresh from the break-up of the band Moving Parts, decided to join forces with drummer/vocalist Peter Prescott, who had just parted company with the Molls. M.O.B. worked as a trio until the summer of 1979, when they drafted Martin Swope to provide what was commonly seen as the "x- factor" in their sound. Swope, who had worked with Miller in bands around their hometown of Ann Arbor, MI, added tape loops and sonic manipulations (from a visually unobtrusive position behind the soundboard) that often left audiences wondering how the trio on stage were creating the sounds that they were hearing.

In June 1980, Burma released their debut 7", "Academy Fight Song," on producer Rick Harte's fledgling Ace Of Hearts label. Still regarded as a high-water mark of a Boston music scene that is rich with history, the record quickly sold out of its 7,500 copy pressing, unprecedented for an independent single at that time. With increased touring and a steadily developing profile, the band returned to the studio to record the signals, calls, and marches EP. Released in July 1981, the six songs showed a marked growth from the tightly-wound, blistering attack of "Academy..." The EP's opener, the Conley-penned anthem "That's When I Reach For My Revolver," quickly became the band's calling card. (The song has since been covered by, amongst others, Sugar, Catherine Wheel, and Moby; other artists who have covered the band's material include R.E.M., Spinanes, Pegboy, and Soul Asylum.) Concise in its presentation yet sprawling in scope, the EP ranges from the two-minute art- punk bullet of "This Is Not A Photograph" to the majestic "All World Cowboy Romance."

In April 1982, the band released their second 7" single, "Trem Two" b/w "OK/No Way," the aside of which also appeared on the VS. LP, which followed in October of that year. A dozen furious tracks, the album met with press raves both at home (" ... aural surprises lurk in the chordal folds ... martial chants erupt suddenly into harmonies ... a raw-power dissertation ... a solid, compelling piece of work..." - The New York Times), and abroad ("...a fascinating, turbulent, and worthy debut full of slanted timing, trimmings, and a teasing strength and coarseness..." - Sounds, UK).
