My Dad Is Dead - Let's Skip The Details

Apparently, this was more or less the work of Mark Edwards with a couple of people making small contributions. 32 years ago I read this really small piece talking about it and went out and bought the vinyl. Just my opinion but maybe the others were contractually tied up and kept anonymous. This is a full band pure and simple. MDID don't tend to get written about much even back then ... if they were from New Zealand we would all be lighting candles on a nightly basis at our home-made shrines. To my mind, this is a masterpiece.

Only released in America in 1988 on Homestead Records and then never available again. Criminal.
