The Crowd - A World Apart (1981) FULL ALBUM 

This album rips. Hadn't heard it before but I'll be hearing it again. And again. It's a keeper. Thanks!

Man, this LP is such a brilliant little slice of pop-infused punk rock. It's honestly criminal that an album this good, in 2021, remains as obscure as it is. If it had come out in 1994, you know it would have sold a million copies, and rightfully so.

I remember driving to Weiner schnitzel in Late 1982 listen to tape dub in a 1967 bug

whoops. 1979. I was 21. I was with my very pregnant wife. I heard about this band and, being relatively new to the punk scene, even though I was a working bass player, I was blown away. The show was at the now infamous Cuckoo's Nest. I spent many nights seeking thrills in this alternative arena. I started playing for money at 15 years old. As a freshman in high school the group I was in would do as many jr. high dances as we could in the Tustin, Ca. area. Back to 1979. Orange Co. had a significant number of "top forty" clubs. We played in that boring ass circuit forevvveerrr. The Cuckoo's Nest was almost like going to Hollywood, not! But, it was cool because you didn't have to drive a million miles...and you were safer? Anyway, The Crowd was billed with XTC and 999. Two bands that could have headlined that tiny club. To this day I don't know who headlined that gig. Up first was 999, The Nest was already packed and "the pit" turned out to be the entire club. I had hell of a time redirecting slam dancers away from my 8.5 month pregnant wife's baby bump. Then, as The Crowd started their set, the side doors busted open and about 20 jack booted H.B. punkers came crashing in and it was on! I can't describe the chaos that ensued, but the band didn't miss a beat. We left after the set. They were and are still a great band. In more recent times, the last band I was in (name not important) gigged several times with The Crowd and I love those guys.

Right Time sounds familiar, all in all great sounds ! Buzzcock feel to it

i saw this band for the first time in 1979.

Damn - this rips!

Damn this is good, suprised theyre not more well known.

The Singer reminds me very much of Billy Idol and of other bands like 999 and Buzzcocks..

Jack Grisham says his style was influenced by this can totally hear it

The solo in Pleasure Seeker sounds a lot like the lead riff in TSOL's Sounds of Laughter, does it not?

Can't Talk

Too legit

Sounds a lot like chron gen

also the go gos debut on a basf,tape deck

I'm not an english speaker, can someone give me the lyrics of As You Were (Tomorrow)?

Thanks ! but what about "Big Fish Stories" ?

algorithm strikes again

otto gen

Good album...to all the knockers 'do better'

Pleasure seeker and first track rocks rest of the lp mediocre

horrible, sounds like oingo boingo

Very boring and repetitive. The Blvd sessions or whatever its called are good but the only good song on this is Right Place
