Blitz – Telecommunication (1983 French Pressing 12" Vinyl) – VG+/G+

An increasingly interesting chapter in British punk history, Telecommunication by Blitz was released in 1983 on Future Records, marking the band's move towards a darker, more melodic post-punk and new wave sound.

Best known for their uncompromising early street punk and Oi! recordings, Blitz developed a distinctive musical direction during the early 1980s, incorporating atmospheric guitars, synthesiser-influenced arrangements and the emerging sounds of British post-punk.

Telecommunication captures this transitional period, offering a fascinating contrast to the band's earlier, more aggressive material.

An appealing release for collectors of original British punk, post-punk, new wave and independent vinyl from the early 1980s.
