The Attack-The Complete Recordings from 1967-68


Oh, you should be so fortunate as to have all these recordings compiled for you in one handy zip file. Not only did Davey O’List have his finger in this pie, but guitar demigod John DuCann was also fucking around the kitchen while it was baked. Talk about a band that should have but didn’t. That’s these fellas. Fuzzy pop/modish rockers/psychish pirouettes, all that jazz. This album will end too soon for all but the daftest listener.

  1. Just want to second Jerry's recommendation here. Killer! I mean, he just posted a bunch of great stuff, but this the one I fear might get passed over.

  2. Here's hoping that won't be the case.

  3. Wow, this is fantastic. They reach Zappa-level-flower-people-satire on some of these songs. All around a sick, '60s punk sound. Thanks for posting.

  4. No problem. They still remain supremely under rated. Glad someone digs this.

  5. The Attack are a firm favourite of mine since discovering them here on the tail end of your Five Day Week Straw People post. If it wasn't for blogs like yours I would be musically poorer and would not have bought anywhere near as much music as I have over the past few years. I'm too long in the tooth and financially tight to blow wads of cash on records I've not heard these days. Just as we lived through the heyday of vinyl and the joy of record shop searches so we now seem to be approaching the end of the glory days of internet music sampling. What will replace it? Why these industry morons can't see the benefits that music lovers advertising their 'products' provide them is beyond me. Hope you've got all your files backed up securely.

  6. Agreed. And yes I do. It's been a pretty lousy week or so. Too many comrades were lost over very petty concerns. Eventually people will wise up and see that art is not designed for a coterie. Let it be seen/heard/tasted/experienced. Gatekeepers an profiteers be damned.
