Are you familar with the band THE REDS from Philadelphia (there are a few bands that have taken that name). Thier first self-titled album is a must.
I've never seen it on CD, but it was actually on A&M Records so it's not that hard to find. Came out 1977 or 1976 and is way ahead of it's time.

Yeah, opps. I should probably know that title off the top of my head better since I play songs off of it at least once a month at the club. ;-) Yeah, I found Secondhand Daylight to be a little lackluster by comparison. Still not a bad album though. Actually, "Permafrost" is the first song I heard by them. It's really a shame they're totally ignored right now. I do like Gang of Four and Devo as much as the next guy, but bands like Magazine and Wire really deserve their due as well.
"The Light Pours Out of Me" is an absolute classic. If you can find a copy of Holy Cow's cover of that song (it'd have to be a live version), they do it good justice. I *believe* there is a bootleg of their performance at Drop Dead 2 floating around there somewhere, and if I remember right, they did play it live then.
Is this what the album by The Reds looks like? -
