Cleaners From Venus

Blow Away Your Troubles / On Any Normal Day / Midnight Cleaners

This foldout CD set includes the first three Cleaners From Venus albums, lovingly remastered with the original artwork and extensive liner notes. Lol Elliot and Martin Newell who together formed the legendary lo-fi band Cleaners From Venus met in the small town of Wivenhoe south-east England at the turn of the 1980's. Newell a rock singer and part-time kitchen porter who'd left his band the previous summer and Elliot a drummer and former hippy traveller had much in common. They shared a love of sunny 1960's pop music, punk rock and musical comedy. Neither Elliot nor Newell cared much for any kind of musical rule book both were dismayed by the new right wing politics which had now taken over their country.
