AK Band - Manhole Kids LP (1981)

This isn't hard to find in the back alley shops of the internet and, yet, it took me many years before I ever got around to getting myself a copy. In the end I didn't have to buy it because it was posted on a blog called Rip it Up which has since transmogrified into the blog Fade2Grey.

1 Round and Round
2 8-3-12
3 Walnuts-Molteazerz
4 Over You
5 Too Long a Night
6 Sole Survivor
7 Mister President
8 Nothing's Happening
9 Sea of Smarm
10 Manhole Kids

If you aren't familiar with their sound they sound very much like the Police without sounding like a rip-off of them.
