"The Homosexuals created a musical world of their own. Holed up in no-rent studios and squats, they mined every genre from psych-folk and Afrobeat to punk and dub, added killer hooks, then exuberantly tore it all apart. They wrote and recorded for five years, but they never took out an advert, sent out a promotional record, or got paid for a gig. The legend has grown, and today the Homosexuals are arguably the most acclaimed-and-least-heard band of the postpunk era. After more than a year of research and restoration, a hundred hours of conversations with band-members, and endless surprises, the story of The Homosexuals can now be told. Astral Glamour gathers 81 songs and three-plus hours of legendary 1977-1983 artpunk -- every Homosexuals song from their records and the C-60, plus a dozen other tracks never released anywhere before. Astral Glamour also features a full-colour 32-page booklet with scores of unpublished photographs, posters, lyrics, song-by-song comments and an extensive history of their early years."

2022 restock. "The Homosexuals -- Anton, Jim and Bruno -- were a legendary three-piece art-punk band that existed for only a short time, from 1978-81. Able to record in downtime at Surrey Sound (the studio responsible for 10cc and The Police), they developed a breathless 'do everything in two minutes' production style. Some tracks only exist as distorted rough cassette mixes, but the songs shine through the sound quality. Much of the music is beautifully recorded however, and the full complexity and audacity is like a bucket of cool refreshing water."
