Right on Javier. Close Lobsters is THE ONE for Fire Records this year. The two best bands of the ’80’s (so-called) C-86 era were McCarthy and the Close Lobsters. Highly recommended to fans of The Smiths, Wedding Present, Go-Betweens, Orange Juice and Josef K (and, indeed, the logical next step for Postcard Records, had they carried on that long).
And they’re back! Both sides if their incredible 2014 come-back 7″ here…

You’re right too, Charles. as a Smiths fan I love both bands, Close Lobsters and McCarthy. Definitely I’m going to try to get Close Lobsters reissue and wait for McCarthy’s “I’m A Wallet” vinyl reissue through Optic Nerve Recordings. They’ll make my day.
Also on Fire Records, Close Lobsters’ 3-LP set “Firestation Towers: 1986-1989” including “Forever Until Victory”, their singles collection, on vinyl for the first time.
