The Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack: The Complete Recordings 1977-1979

Formed in 1976 in Edinburgh, Scotland, John Peel favourites The Rezillos were viewed as a punk act simply because they emerged at a specific time in the history of rock. But there was so much more to The Rezillos and their music. Branding themselves a �new wave beat group�, The Rezillos� music lacked the nihilism and social commentary of many of their counterparts, replacing this with an irreverent glam rock image and a love of science fiction, B-movie, comic book and campy girl group iconography that set them apart from their musical peers. �Initially performing mainly �50s and �60s rock �n� roll covers at their live shows, Rezillos guitarist and future Human League band member � Jo Callis - began penning their own original songs, and soon after came the release of their highly acclaimed debut LP, Can�t Stand The Rezillos, contained here. �This classic album is now available in this collectable 2CD digipack release, together with their famous live recording from the Glasgow Apollo on 23rd December 1978 � released at the time under the name of �Mission Accomplished� But The Beat Goes On�. �Not only does Flying Saucer Attack contain these two great recordings, but the package also includes all the B-sides and rarities from the band�s first stint as The Rezillos between 1977 and 1979.
