Life in the City is such a great song

I watched this Whistle Test performance on TV at the time and bought the album a few days later on the strength of it. It was terrific.

Excellent! I love ATF! Like most Americans I first heard After The Fire's excellent cover of "Der Kommisar" and then the great ATF compilation released in 1982 not even realizing most of the songs like "Laser Love" were released several years earlier as far back as 1979, but they were worth the wait and still sound great!

They used to.play at my college quite a bit back in the day. St John's York

This band. Ahead of their time. I don't remember hearing about them in the 80s, but I do remember Lazer Love. Probably would have guessed 77s

Great to see ATF again. Do you happen to have the whole OGWT show?

Love ATF. The sound is bad in this video.
