Arising from the ashes of the wonderfully-named Baader-Meinhof (of Sevenoaks), The Klingons (the “of Hildenborough” distinguishes them from the host of similarly-named bands that followed) dashed off these four tracks in a local 8-track studio during April 1979.

Sadly, other notable numbers like “Kirk Is A Jerk” and “Laser Beam” are lost to posterity, but the tracks preserved show an infectious, DIY scrappiness that conjures up The Swell Maps. Less developed than the latter but tighter than the TV Personalities, “Terminal” and “Cold Love” are de rigeur short, sharp punkers, whilst “Influence”, a fashionably-bored sounding vocal intoned over a postpunk drone, and the anthemic, catchy “Manners In Trains” show just what might have been had the band not imploded a mere three months later. As it is, this is what we’re left with, a time capsule of five gigs, one demo and implosion, all within eleven months 300 vinyl copies. Picture sleeve, 4-page insert
