"Colossal Youth’ is the epitome of unique. It is totally far out and cosmic. 1980 was a very special year for music. Most of it is still more futuristic than anything released since 1980. If you understand that then you are my type of person. "Music be all" "Music be everything"
The Oddyshape album is overshadowed by the "legendary" status that their first album has gotten through the years (some people that own that first album don't even know it exists) but imo it's as good if not even better. Same with The Slits and their fantastic second album, The Return of the Giant Slits.
Welcome back to RetroCountdown. Our single of the week is a double A side by post punk trio Young Marble Giants from Wales. "Wurlitzer jukebox" and Brand new life". This band is fantastic and deserve a go. The album these 2 songs came off is generally regarded as one of the best of 1980. They only put out 1 album. We like giving artists a go who normally wouldn't get it but deserve it, here on RetroCountdown. This 45 will be available from tomorrow for the special price of $1.50. Day 6957. 3 x 3 x 733. Raw honey and all of my urine til 3.15pm then dried figs and sprouts and black grapes then more urine then fresh fruit and vegetables and other foods at 7.30pm. No change.
i don't know how anyone would find this today? but it is a beautifully sad truth of how good YMG were & what rough trade meant to do and achieve. I hope anyone under 30 will fijnd thier way somehow to this
Saw them at the Clarendon Hotel in Hammersmith in about 1980. Very stylish audience for what I assumed was a very DIY type band. Great gig. Hotel sadly demolished and replaced with a shopping centre not long after.
I heard Younf Marvle Giants single “Final Day” on KALX in the mid ‘80’s and bought it and their 1980 album “Colossal Youth” while I was still a teenager, and in the decades since I’ve never met another fan, which saddens me.
@@monsieurbotibol They were getting paid for gigs...and some pretty big ones. Maybe they just did it to be "punk" and that was the style...but damn man...as interesting and good as these songs are it really stings to hear the parts that are out of tune, lol.

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before. Colossal Youth is my favorite record, has been since I first “discovered” it, in 1992. Thank you for sharing this clip.
