about

*Comes in a 3 x Jewel Case Package

Lol Elliott and Martin Newell, who together formed the legendary lo-fi band Cleaners from Venus met in the small town of Wivenhoe in Southeast England at the turn of 1980s. Newell, a rock singer and part-time kitchen porter who'd left his band the previous summer, and Elliott, a drummer and former hippy traveller, had much in common. They shared a love of sunny 1960s pop music, punk rock and musical comedy. Neither Elliott nor Newell cared much for any kind of musical rule book and both were dismayed by the new right-wing politics which had now taken over their country. In their twenties, the two had time on their hands and were keen to create something new.

This beautiful, 3xCD gatefold features the albums Blow Away Your Troubles, On Any Normal Monday and Midnight Cleaners. It. includes a booklet with album bios written by Newell himself as well as never-before-released photos.
