This 1981 single is the last one Post-Punk squawkers Essential Logic released. A year later Laura Logic quit the music biz to join the Hare Krishnas with old buddy and former X-Ray Spex bandmate Poly Styrene.
They could be quite atonal at times but this is a sweet, bouncy record that’s about as pop as they ever got. Probably why I bought it and still have it.

Apparently they reformed — as everyone does these days — in 2001 but I haven’t heard any fruits of that.

Longtime favorite of mine, but have never managed to spot their records in a single store. Such a shame. This came out a few years ago, and the newer stuff was…not great. http://www.amazon.com/Fanfare-Garden-Essential-Logic-Collection/dp/B00009ATIY/
