" In the Beginning is essential missing-link history – and body-rockin' fun" The Guardian

" In the Beginning doesn't have a single limp tune. It'll amaze new listeners and give old ones some hard-to-find tracks. Buy it." Pitchfork

"There's no denying that In the Beginning There Was Rhythm is a great gateway into this expansive, fruitful, trailblazing era." All Music

First released in 2001, this album is fully remastered, remade and presented once more in its entirety and features A Certain Ratio, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Human League, The Pop Group, Gang of Four, The Slits, 23 Skidoo and This Heat.

This album comes as a double black vinyl edition complete with two bespoke inner bags containing extensive sleevenotes and original photography.

As Muzik magazine noted on its initial release 'In The Beginning' is a choice selection from the fertile post-punk period when bands thought nothing of combining politics and philosophy with imported dance rhythms and edgy industrial angst.

The bands featured come (mostly) from the then bleak post-industrial North of England - Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds as well as Bristol and London, and yet all show a fascination with black American rhythms and an experimentation in sound that was completely unique at the time.

The title of the album comes from The Slits track of the same name.

This album is produced with all the original photos and full extensive sleevenotes.

Too big
Color: Pink, Size: Medium
Seems like good quality, the sizes run big, I normally wear medium in most clothes, but the small is still too big for me

low-maintenance shirt that fits perfectly
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
This COOFANDY Casual Button Down is a fantastic addition to a summer wardrobe, offering both great fit and high quality. The material is impressively wrinkle-free, which keeps it looking sharp and crisp even after a full day of wear. It is specifically designed to be worn untucked, and the length is just right—offering a modern, relaxed silhouette that doesn't look sloppy. The fabric feels durable yet breathable, making it comfortable for both casual outings and slightly dressier occasions. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance shirt that fits perfectly right out of the wash, this is an excellent choice.

My husband loves these shirts
Color: Dark Blue, Size: Large
My husband just loves these shirts. He has one in every color, I think. Great quality, good price, breathable, true to color, and super comfy. Nice enough to wear to a nice dinner but can be dressed down w a pair of shorts and flip flops. By far the best find I have found!
