He Dark Age – Ecce Homo (Vinyl) PPTT06

Purely Physical Teeny Tapes makes another left turn for its sixth release, returning to its founder’s original home of Brisbane and flicking through the local band Rolodex back to 1986, and the lo-fi debut Ecce Homo by DIY homebodies He Dark Age. Briefly tipped on Efficient Space’s Oz Waves compilation a few years ago, and originally released as a cassette in 1986, it appears now in a small batch vinyl format with new artwork by Brisbane artist Riley Jones. The genesis of He Dark Age traces back to 1982, when a chance encounter between Paul Newsome, 22 at the time and playing in the noise/anti-music group Pork, met Tony Millner on a trip to Sydney through mutual acquaintance John Willsteed (Xero/The Go-Betweens).

Edition of 200 with hand-pasted sleeves and shiny centre labels - New artwork by Riley Jones
