# 461 Dogwatch - Cut outs

Side a: Cut outs
Side b: Mornington Crescent
UK 1980

Obscure little platter by this Brighton based band. One side is ska-artrock with a violin solo and a good chorus line. The other side is more artrock. Nevertheless a fine record! This is their second release. They had also released a live record on Bridge House records in 1979. See more here.
