The 1980 Listening Post - Jimmy Pursey - Imagination Camouflage

 

Jimmy Pursey - Imagination Camouflage


October 1980

Jimmy Pursey

Imagination Camouflage

Genre: Not what you’d expect

4 out of 5




Highlights:

Have a Nice Day

Situation’s Vacant

Just Another Memory



The front man for Sham 69 goes solo and it’s…weird. It starts off like a New Wave space opera and then gets…really aggressive. 

It’s like Bowie and Cooper were abducted by a punk band and forced to have their creativity siphoned off and poured into a beaker which was then imbibed by a genius whose brain exploded and burst this bizarre cornucopia of post-rock madness. 


The production is shite but the album is weird so…
