Take It -- Twenty Lines 7"

Original 1980 UK release on Fresh Hold Releases (UK) (catalog # FHR 1), with huge fold-out poster Picture Sleeve, lyric insert.

Amazing and obscure UK DIY post-punk single, "Armchairs" is comped on hyped2death's Messthetics #101 but all three songs on here are equally amazing.

Chuck of h2d says: "After Blue Screaming/Collective Horizontal, Igor and Simon next reinvented themselves as Take It, whose spectacularly noisy debut is simultaneously as catchy and as extreme as anything in H2D's collection, with just the two of them hammering away at distorted keyboards and guitars or bass (although honorary third-member credit should be given to Cy Real [??] who'd [de]constructed their instruments). After Simon left music to pursue dance and theatre, Igor borrowed two of the 49 Americans and opted not to play keyboards at all on "Armchairs" from their second single. Then Take It's final iteration dazzled/bewildered nearly everyone by adopting a small-band swing jazz sound (with ex-Jelly Baby and latter-day alt-country star Alan Tyler on vocals [Alan Tyler and the Lost Sons of Littlefield], Paul Platypus, and drummer Dave Morgan [Casual Labourers, 12CF, The Loft, Weather Prophets, Primal Scream, Sun Dial, etc.]).
