Released in 1979, this album was a compilation of acts recorded at the
Barclay Towers Studios, Edinburgh, and distributed by Pinnacle. It features some exclusive early tracks from The Rezillos as well as an early incarnation of the Waterboys: Another Pretty Face. There is a variety of quite cool DIY punk synth music here:

This album is a firm favourite of Daza's from the time he was a daytime DJ at RDU, the student radio station at the University of Canterbury. After many years of looking he found a second hand copy and was cheered to find it was as good as he remembered. The album doesn't appear to ever have been re-released, which is a shame. We have only found a couple of mentions of it on the web:
