New “Not for Profit” company from UK Subs Time & Matter website: Time & Matter Recordings

The U.K. Subs Time & Matter website is pleased to announce the launch of their ‘not for profit company’ Time & Matter Recordings.

T&M exists purely to put out previously un-released or no longer available U.K. Subs material on CD and DVD (and possibly other formats) with 100% of the profits going to a charity or individual personally chosen by Charlie Harper, further details of which can be found on the website www.uksubstimeandmatter.net

Their first release is a CD re-issue of the legendary 1980 bootleg “Dance & Travel In The Robot Age”, available for just £5-00 (plus postage).

Originally released in 1980 by Black & White Recs (from the Isle of White in the UK), the recording was made by the late Tracy Crazy, from the Italian punk band S.I.B, who also took the photographs used on the cover.

The gig where the recording was made, at the Palalido in Milan, Italy was part of a seven date European tour that the Subs played with the Ramones.

Now, thirty years later, this historic recording is finally getting a proper CD release. Whilst not recorded with the most sophisticated equipment, and reproduced for this release from an original vinyl copy, “Dance & Travel” captures the Subs at the height of their powers with a blistering set of what would become the classics that are the mainstay of their live performances to this day.

Dance & Travel In The Robot Age
