Nice to see some praise for HOL. I can never pick which is my favorite album by them out of the first 3 and the odds and ends comp "A Spy"...there are so many great songs across all of those that it would be hard for me to pick just one. I dig their Peel Session stuff a lot too.
Do you have the 3xCD reissue of the self-titled? I've been eyeing that one for a little while.
RE: the Telescopes, never heard any of their albums but I used to dig their 12'' e.p.s which of course I don't have anymore. I know some of them were compiled on CD but I'm annoyed that "7# disaster" wasn't. That is a killer 12'' that's a lot more aggro than the other stuff I've heard by them.
Re: the Primitives, I've only got a 2xCD of their early singles and bbc sessions. How does that album compare?
I love all HOL, but the two self-titled ones are my favorites.
If you dig
7th# Disaster, you should definitely try
Taste. It's pretty nasty.
Crash is more polished than the early singles, but in a good way.
