THE DEAF AIDS Do It Again (Regional Records (REG 1), 1979) 7"

Condition:  no sleeve, never issued with any; vinyl in excellent (ex) condition; very clean copy!

Ultra-rare original UK DIY single limited to only 250 made and never came in a sleeve! It is the FIRST release from Sheffield's great powerpop/punk band (known for the more common 2nd single Heroes/Bored Christine on Conspiracy Records; 1980). Here is your chance! Very hard to find - a real DIY gem.

"A Sheffield-based band formed in September 1978 as Charles Hawtrey & The Deaf Aids. Early in 1979 the group - Terry 'Mallender' Gamwells (aka Terry Gamble, v, ex-Third Reich and 2.3, see listing), Mark Hornby (gtr, ex-Amoebas, who replaced the original guitarist John O'Rourke), Craig Waite (b) and Graham Hoggard (d, later replaced by Wayne Cleeland) [sax player Willis was dropped after a few weeks] - reduced the name to Deaf Aids and gained a certain local following which increased thanks to a national tour with The Jags. An EP, co-produced by their promoter/ financier Mike Charlesworth, was issued in October 1979 in a pressing limited to 250 copies (the tracks were originally recorded as a demo and only released on vinyl as an afterthought). The 7", one of the rarest singles of the era, includes three Gamwells-penned songs of a certain quality, with a particular mention to DO IT AGAIN, a strong Powerpopper which could have been an indie hit with appropriate promotion. In mid-1980 Gamwells, Hoggard and newcomer John O'Rourke (who had been reinstated in the lineup replacing Mark Hornby) were arrested after smashing up the stage with microphone stands during a Sheffield gig. A second single, HEROES b/w BORED CHRISTINE, emerged on the Conspiracy imprint in November 1980 in both 7" and 12" formats (the latter including two bonus tracks: BRISTOL STOMP and THE DOG); two exclusive live versions of HEROES and BRISTOL STOMP appeared in 1981 on the WART'N'ALL compilation. In 1982 Deaf Aids metamorphosed into Bambi-Kino (named after a Hamburg cinema where The Beatles slept) who one year later became Urban Pears."" The tracks are 'Do It Again' / 'Peep Show' and 'Aren't People Strange'.
