Swell Maps
International Rescue
2022 Alive

Limited blue vinyl pressing. Comprehensive compilation of this seminal mid-seventies U.K. band featuring Epic Soundtracks, Nikki Sudden, Richard Earl and Jowe Head. "International Rescue" includes various 7"s, songs from their albums plus unreleased tracks, new mixes and material released for the first time. The Swell Maps were influential for U.S. bands like Minutemen, Replacements and Sonic Youth. "International Rescue is almost propagandist in its revisionism - Swell Maps never sounded more like a real band. Absolutely the best record available by Swell Maps." - Pitchfork
