Shake - s/t ep (1979, Sire)

Three ex-Rezillos comprised Shake, who only released this 10" ep. According to Trouser Press, this wasn't a particularly crucial record. To my ears, it's competent but pedestrian pub/punk rock,with shades of the Clash and Jam evident on some tracks. Troy Tate of (ex of Teardrop Explodes) was also in Shake but does not appear on this record. Shake prime mover Jo Callis would eventually go onto bigger things in the Human League.
