Another repost to bring this up to current fashions in video size, if not quality.

The Gits (UK) – Collyer’s 11th October 1988

The rapid rise in screen resolutions in the last decade means a lot of my old videos no longer cut the mustard so I’m re-doing them to meet modern standards. That does though show up the limits of the source material.

This was during the band’s cool period – unfortunately no one thought to tell me.

I Like To Keep On Top

…Of any social media referencing of my noise making endeavours and it seems that a couple of years ago someone spent a portion of the short time they have on Planet Dirt to upload The Gits (UK) tune ‘Hold Me Now’.

Remaindered

It took a few years but Firestation Records have finally given up all hope of selling The Gits (UK) Retrospectulative at full price and are knocking it out for 4€ in their January sale. I’ve only spotted this belatedly and it ends at the end of the month.

You will have to get five of them to make the minimum order though – or perhaps even consider buying something else. Do allow for getting caught for additional tax in the UK now that we’ve fully regained control of our demise.
