Amos & Sara’s wickedly twisted post-punk dub session, Invite To Endless Latino [War Boys, 1983] sees its first ever vinyl cut thanks to the efforts of Alga Marghen’s Emanuele Carcano, who deserves a pat of the back for effectively pressing up one of his favourite tapes to share with the rest of us...

Comprising all tracks from the cultishly coveted original cassette by The Homosexuals affiliates Jim Welton & Chris Gray, from the nutty nattiness of Mr. Sinister to the keening disco-not-disco of Insomnia Samba and the ragged hustle of Pain Mambo, it’s not hard to hear why this LP is such a cult classic. 

It just drips with playful innovation and tongue-in-cheek ambiguity, putting together a mad mixture of authentically sensuous swerve and nagging pop hooks under relatively crude conditions that recalls some concoction of colourful pills in a wine-soaked barm bought from Brenda Naffi’s butty bar.
