The Wolfhounds - The Anti-Midas Touch - Pink Records 7". Pinky 14.

Following their inclusion on the NME's C-86 cassette - an influential but patchy grab-bag of indie, angry, shambling or shite white kids - The Wolfhounds outgrew an early, limiting, obsession with The Fall and started to issue blinders like this. Somewhere in the dictionary of finger-popping hipster slang there is an entry for this record correctly identifying it as a 'tune'. Enjoy.

I've had this one squirreled away for a while. I don't know if it ever came out on CD but if it did it would be a completely redundant release given the bootleg quality of the original release. Still, it's Creation Night on BBC Four tonight and there's a clip of The Loft included in it. In addition, on this record you can hear early Creation acts The Legend! (aka journalist Everett 'Jerry' True), The Jasmine Minks and The Pastels, as well as other pre-C86 luminaries The Three Johns, The Television Personalities, The Mekons, ATV and God's Own Band, The June Brides. Enjoy.
