This is a serious post about Scritti Politti

Who here hasn't raised a little roof to Scritti Politti's The Perfect Way or Wood Beez ? Before they got blond highlights they were being championed by John Peel and signing to Rough Trade. Gang of Four/Wire style art-punk, it's pretty insane to think of the complete 360 this band made in five years.

Last year Rough Trade released a comp of the early vinyl-only EPs entitled 'Early'

These songs are really worth a listen:
