Here's another great cold wave band from Belgium. Can't find a lot of info on The Cultural Decay. This 7" is the first release on their own Sexy Robot Records. They did another record in 1983 called 'Wars On 45'. If you like Siglo XX, then check this one out.
I had to pay quite some money for this gem but I got overwhelmed by a 'now or never' feeling.
Mystery Poster recently re-upped the 'Wars On 45' 12" due to popular demand so get it here, or cry later.

They were waaaaay better than Siglo XX, man.
to think I bought this for 50 Cents at a record store in Washington DC 12 years ago. Hey, it was cheap. I still like it (better than Siglo XX, for sure)
ReplyDeletePraise yourself lucky! This one is hard to find, even in Belgium.
