Compilation CD Marina Records 1997
"The album you are listening to is by a guitar group called the Jazzateers. The music isn't new - it was mostly recorded between 1983 and 1987 (that's after New Romantics and before New Psychedelia). We were a guitar group who liked being a guitar group - when we played live people who liked it, liked it and those who didn't, didn't. We liked Neil when he was Young, Brian when he was Wilson and Glasgow was the city we grew up in. We didn't travel all that far - but we knew the world from comics, movies and records. Jazzateers didn't play live a lot - but we always wrote songs. Some of those songs are on this album and you may have heard a couple before - others, though, you most definitely won't have. Some I even have trouble remembering and I helped write most of them. I hope you enjoy it - I did".

Thank you, another very good and (for me) unknown group! Any chance to post Diagram Brothers "some marvels of modern science + Singles"? Many thanks in advance!
Hi,
I can't help you with the LTM reissue, but for the Diagram Brothers album you can always try the Mutant Sounds post at

I believe the link is still working after all these years!
Cheers
Never heard this band before, and enjoyed the preview - thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the MUTANT SOUNDS tip...
Liked this. A lot! Muchas graçias!
Are these not guys who were involved in Bourgie Bourgie with Paul Quinn?

Great to see that everybody seems to enjoy this fantastic and forgotten band!
Paul Quinn actually sang lead vocals on their unreleased first LP "Lee", and also showed himself a little bit on this "gun record". For all those interested:
