Nightingales Pigs On Purpose

Double blue colored vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. Includes digitally download. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Ripe for rediscovery is the sought-after and much acclaimed 1982 debut album from seminal Birmingham post punk revolutionaries The Nightingales. Pigs On Purpose was remastered by Stuart Moxham with the addition of early demos and non-album singles from this period. The reissue coincides with new 'King Rocker' documentary celebrating the life of lead singer Robert Lloyd. An early punk classic, The Nightingales' debut was a strange transmission released as the musical landscape was changing. They were the last important band with roots in the first blossoming of punk and became a major influence upon the explosion of mid-80s indie labels and associated bands.
