The Rezillos
Mission Accomplished... But The Beat Goes On LP (vinyl)

Limited 180gm vinyl reissue of the second Rezillos album.
The Rezillos formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1976.
Although emerging at the same time as other bands in the punk rock movement, the Rezillos did not share the nihilism or social commentary of their contemporaries, but instead took a more light-hearted approach to their songs, preferring to describe themselves at the time as "a New Wave beat group".
Their songs are heavily influenced by 1950s rock and roll and 1960s garage rock, early glam rock, and recurring lyrical themes of science fiction and B movies.
Their influences mirrored those of US bands the Cramps, the B-52s, and X, who were starting out at the same time.
Released in July 1978, the Rezillos' first studio album Can't Stand the Rezillos is now considered a classic album of the first wave of British punk, but the group split up four months after it's release following internal arguments about their future direction.
After deciding to split, The Rezillos recorded this live farewell album at their final show at the Glasgow Apollo on 23rd December 1978.
