This week for Staff Picks .allu.mm has chosen a classic 1981 release, the self-titled album by The Gordons, packed with their signature jammy guitars and post-punk noise. Also in the mix is Welsh electronic artist Kelly Lee Owens with her ultra-crispy and uber-dancey recent release Dreamstate, and the brilliant first solo album of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Thousand Knives Of. If you look closely you can also see Callum repping the 1981 long sleeve! Check out the whole collection in our bio.

The live tracks on this record have been remastered by long-time champion and engineer Tex Houston, taken from the original masters courtesy of the BBC and ABC, and facilitated by our dear friends at the Alexander Turnbull Library. A snapshot in time, this special release features nine different live tracks from the band’s previous releases (Hellzapoppin, The Venus Trail, Fish Tales/Swarthy Songs for Swabs) — with some tracks featured twice on the 2024 CD release.
