MISSION OF BURMA
Signals, Calls, And Marches
2010 U.S. reissue

My two day excursion to Victoria with my son would not have been complete without a vinyl crawl.

On this trip, I found a handful of records by bands from my beloved hometown of .

THIS is by far my favorite of the lot.

Mission Of Burma were one of the greatest bands PERIOD, regardless of geography.

THIS edition combines the original E.P., their debut single, & a pair of previously unreleased songs.

“That’s When I Reach For My Revolver” and “Academy Fight Song”, are two of the most vital & essential songs of that decade.

SC&M also highlights the bands penchant for experimenting with tape loops, as well as presenting a more controlled and refined presentation in comparison to their brutal, chaotic live sound. Which, if you’re familiar with Boston music lore, is the stuff of LEGEND.
