The Scientists - Frantic Romantic

A repress, repro, if you want, of one of the greatest 45rpm 7" records of all time: the debut Scientists single..."Frantic Romantic/Shake (Together Tonight). 32 years after it first came out on the DNA label from Perth/Australia, this feral stab at Punk / Power Pop still cuts deep. So, with the blessings of Kim Salmon and James Baker, Agitated is very pleased to announce this pressing: One of our all time top singles, a holy grail of 7" vinyl, the opening bars of Frantic Romantic still get the pulse racing, a proper love song, a proper snarling pop song. And the New York Dolls styled "Shake (Together Tonight)" is truly a wild rock and roll beast.... The Scientists went on to become one of most important bands of their land, inspiring many many bands. And like the Electric Eels "reissue" of last year, theres 500 copies on Clear Vinyl for Record Store Day 2011, so long as you can dig through the corporate guff queues...(there will be a black vinyl version out down the line)
