Rudimentary Peni emerged from the British anarcho-punk scene in the early eighties as one of the most novel and recognizable acts of the era. Lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is notorious for his witty macabre lyrics and dark pen-and-ink artwork, prominently featured on all of Rudimentary Peni's albums. Blinko is also rumored to have written the band's Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric album whilst resident in a psychiatric hospital. Bassist Grant Matthews has also written a number of songs for the band, though his lyrics primarily focus on sociopolitical themes.
The band released its first record—a 10-song EP pressed into 7" vinyl—on their own label, Outer Himalayan Records. Early on, Rudimentary Peni had connections with fellow anarcho-punkers Crass, and their second 7" EP, Farce, was issued by Crass Records. Up through the band's first studio album, Death Church (1983), their records were packaged in fold-out paper sleeves chock full of artwork, lyrics and poster graphics characteristic of Crass and many other bands in the anarcho-punk scene.
----------------------------------------
Aided by Grant, the lyrics turn more blatantly towards the political -cleverly written, not falling into the pit of punk banality- but still as despondent as ever. Organised religion is crucified on a few tracks, as well male/female gender role stereotypes, and the enemy of all punks everywhere, conformity. The macabre seems to be on the backburner on this one, being present only once in a morbid anti-war rant, Bloody Jellies. This time, the vocals sound a bit different, and Nick's voice cracks in several places, in a seemingly belated puberty. Lyrically, he contributes a childhood paranoid delusion (Only Human), and more streams-of-consciousness. Musically, they begin to seriously delve into minor keys, making the riffs as cheerless as the words put to them. The beats are varied, some as fast as the first E.P., but others are slowed down in a sinister style. There's a great interlude towards the end of the second side: booming drums, sepentine bassline, odd guitar sounds, and exorcism backwards spoken word. Eerie. A foreshadowing of what is yet to come...

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.
*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********
---------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!
We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.
Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).
---------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT
I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.
However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.
I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
