Info

An essential DIY collection from one of the most intriguing figures of the late 70s British punk scene. Extensive liner notes by Chuck Warner (Hyped To Death, Messthetics) accompanied by copious photos and memorabilia."All my songs are 'A' sides" (ST)Brilliant DIY'n'roll from Steve Treatment, one of the most fascinating but less heralded figures of the late 70s British punk/DIY scene. Bonding over a shared love for Marc Bolan, Steve and the nascent Swell Maps would play and hang out together around London and the Maps backed the former on his first single, released on their own label in 1978. "All Dressed For Tomorrow" includes said record and Steve Treatment's other two singles from 1979, plus chosen highlights from 1977-1979 recordings, unreleased at the time. Raw, unkempt, experimental glam rock magic. The extensive liner notes cover not just the music but also Steve's varied interactions with Marc Bolan, the Swell Maps, the Moors Murderers, Derek Jarman... among others.
