Free Agents - 3.33

Vinyl LP repressing of this 1980 release. Named after it's original price, the Free Agents LP culls live performance tapes from a Tiller Boys show (a conceptual band featuring Francis Cookson, Eric Random and, when available, Pete Shelley) with additional recordings using tape loops, and feedback. It ranged around from post-Revolution 9 collage to wack beats that one might associate with the emergent krautrock to stark industrial moments, flowing into each other with an organic, freely improvised quality. Packaged in 12 sleeves with photocopies of Cookson scribbles pasted on the front and back, Free Agents was DIY all the way.
