The long-lost debut LP by the Five Year Plan, written in 1984/5 but never properly recorded until now. The album has been made by Rob Pursey, Tim Rippington, Katy West and David Squire, using original drumming by Phil Cox. 

The band made the decision to 
record the songs exactly as they would have played them in 1985. No 
additional frills, no editing of the lyrics. Just the way they might 
have sounded with a bit of cash and a decent production from someone who
 understood their music. The

resulting album is a vivid picture of an indie scene in a provincial 
city where C86 hadn’t yet happened – where the band’s main influences 
were The Only Ones, The Go-Betweens, The Triffids, The Comsat Angels: 
all the groups who had started to chart a more ambitious, more

intricate way out of the punk cul-de-sac.
