play loud! is releasing the entire recordings of the Manchester post-punk band Gods Gift (1979-1985), some for the first time ever. In heavy rotation at the BBC in the early 80s. Mark E. Smith was a fan too. Gods Gift guitar player Steve Murphy compiled 11 songs for what will be their first LP ever. Includes DVD (NTSC, region-free) with a live show in Rotterdam and extensive liner notes and lyrics plus a postcard.
"Gods Gift were around when lots of Manchester groups were gaining fame and fortune. Manchester spawned a bleak soundtrack for the music loving youth of the time. The Gothic catacombs were the breeding place of much anger and consternation. Some groups wanted to be amusing, some wanted to be arty, some wanted to be doom-laden, but most wanted to be famous. Gods Gift wanted to shout their rage and hatred at a world that wasn't listening to anything as irrelevant as people...The songs on this new album were a long time in the making. They are angry songs and anti- everything. The entire back catalog of Gods Gift songs are now available as digital downloads. They are priceless jewels from a group that cared and mattered. Buy them, listen to them as loud as you can and go out and demand to be heard!" --Steve Murphy, June 2023
play loud! started the LIMPE FUCHS ARCHIVE in 2010. We would like to thank all our supporters over the last ten years. A very personal thank you goes to Limpe Fuchs, Ursula Anders, Zoro Babel, Tammy Mitzi, Tobias Frindt, Holger Adam, Stefan Bremer, Thomas Kanehl, Margaret Raspé, Richard Fontenoy and Joerg Fukking. We are unearthing more and more newly rediscovered Anima-Sound recordings which we would love to release. We count on the support of fans and music lovers, and would like to revert to our well-established- pre-ordering system to be able to release certain records digitally as well as on vinyl and CD. Since the LIMPE FUCHS ARCHIVE is completely self-financed by play loud!, people are also asked to donate money. Fans also can make their own sugges- tions regarding possible releases.
