As we gear up for the order process for the long-awaited, eagerly-anticipated release of the definitive Distractions box set, here's a couple of lovely little fan reviews of what will be the centre-piece of 'Parabolically Yours'. Thanks to Mr Worthy and Whammo and My Party Is Better Than Yours for the kind words.
The Distractions - Nobody's Perfect
Pop perfection. Often cited as one of the GREAT lost classics, the
Distractions certainly hit a winning formula with this. Elvis Costello
eat your heat out!! Don't think it's ever surfaced on ceedee but they
did re-form in 2012 and released an album that was head 'n shoulders
above most.
To Hell With Good Intentions.
The Distractions - Nobody's Perfect (1980)
The Distractions are
an often-overlooked band of the seventies Manchester scene, forgotten
in favour of peers and occasional touring buddies such as the Buzzcocks.
Perhaps the definition of a lost classic, Nodoby's Perfect is 40 minutes of sonic brilliance, taking in Buzzcocks-like full-tilt punk, new-wave, and a bit of Phil Spector sixties pop.
