Cud : Leggy Mambo

Formed in Leeds in 1986, Cud went on to forge one of the more interesting and indefinable sounds of the late '80s / early '90s Indie scene. Fusing a catchy Pop sensibility with danceable grooves and intelligent and often humorous lyrics, they soon became firm independent favorites and began releasing records on Leeds based Reception Records in 1987, very quickly catching the ear of John Peel and becoming a regular fixture of his broadcasts. This reissue of their 1990 album features bonus material and comes hot on the tails of 2006's Rich and Strange - The Anthology compilation and 2007's well received reissues of two more of the band's albums, all of which reminded the world just how great this band were and generated a well deserved resurgence in interest. Cherry Red. 2008.
