[ Leather Jacket / LP ]
Release Date: Friday 12 May 2023
Ōtautahi post-punk rockers Playthings from 1981/82 are releasing a six track 12" 45rpm EP on glorious green vinyl with tracks from their seminal singles Coloured & Bird's Eye View plus an unreleased track found in the archives!
Playthings formed in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1980 with two strong songwriters, Jay Clarkson and Janine Saundercock, alongside guitarist Nicky Carter and drummer Dave Toland.
This 12" 45rpm EP released in 2023 brings together remastered versions of the five songs from Playthings two seminal 1980's 7" singles Coloured and Bird's Eye View. An additional song from the Playthings archives, country punk stomper Grits, was recorded in 1982, but strangely never released on vinyl until now.
