"An integral part of the UK's post punk explosion, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry emerged from Leeds with their unique, demanding sound during the early 1980s. Guided by the singular vision of iconic bandleader and figurehead Chris Reed and sideman David Wolfenden, the band took onboard elements of the burgeoning gothic outlook of the post punk era, fused it with relentlessly rigid drum machine rhythms and an impenetrable wall of distorted guitars and won a strong following, both in the UK and abroad. Their first two albums -- Talk About The Weather and Paint Your Wagon -- emerged on Red Rhino Records before a jump to Situation Two inspired a development in the band's sound and a broadening of their outlook for the albums Nothing Wrong and Blow. All four vital albums are included here, along with singles, B-sides and remixes, and chart a fascinating history through the 1980s as seen through the eyes of Chris Reed and co. A must for the serious post punk and goth rock enthusiast, and a key part of the incredible musical explosion that took place in the UK during the 1980s."

RSD 2018 release. Radiation Deluxe Series present a reissue of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry's Talk About The Weather, originally released in 1985. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were one of the finest post-punk groups of the mid-80s, founded in 1981 in Leeds by chief member Chris Reed. Molded after the likes of Wire and Joy Division, the Lorries combined angular walls of guitar noise with throbbing bass lines and drum machine to create a unique sound that was indebted to the first wave of UK post-punk but quickly evolved into a new sound all their own. After several singles on the Red Rhino label, the group released their debut LP in 1985. The group's finest effort, Talk About The Weather reached #3 on the NME album charts and has maintained a reputation as one of the best UK post-punk records of the 1980s three decades later. Essential stuff. Includes four bonus tracks. 180 gram vinyl; Limited edition of 500 (hand numbered).
