Short Romans - Short Romans 1987 (Germany)

To change it up a bit from The Sound and Adrian Borland bootlegs I've been posting lately. This is the second self-titled album from German band Short Romans. Their sound is guitar driven, dark and catchy as hell. At times yes, they sound a bit over-produced, perhaps even cliche!? Still... tracks like Linda and Jealous Way manage to lodge it's way deep into the inner recesses of the brain and you find yourself putting it on repeat... needless to say I absolutely Love these guys !

I'll be posting their 1st release 37 Guitars and more info about them shortly.


Will appeal to those who like Comsat Angels ,
early Marquee Moon, and Laughing House

A million thanks to Malcolm for sharing this
There seems to be some inconsistencies with the album art, The cover say SSH Recordings, and the back artwork says SHH Recordings. I wanted to point this out to avoid any unnecessary comments. Yes.. whoever made this bootleg forgot to check their spelling errors..
but who gives a damn right!

2 Meter Sessies


Thanks to Gino for sharing this one
This is an 'unplugged' bootleg made by a fan, containing some of the best versions of 'Silent Air', 'The Other side Of The World ' and ' When Can I be Me ' I've ever heard.
