Original edition of the second LP but first actual album by the Bristol band with crazy improvised and electronic-based post-punk experiments, released on Heartbeat / Cherry Red in 1980.

condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (some creasing)

After the abrupt departure of singer Rob Chapman, Bristol's Glaxo Babies moved into more improvised and electronic-based territory. Their early demos only hinted at such exotic sounds. Other bands from Manchester and New York were spiking post-punk with dance beats, yet Glaxo Babies were brimming with fun and spontaneity, spearheading England's death disco movement in the process. Reportedly recorded in a single day, Nine Months to the Disco originally appeared on Heartbeat Records in 1980. Glaxo Babies' sole proper album veers between wiry electro à la Liquid Liquid piano-based free jazz burners and progressive post-Krautrock jams that would make even This Heat blush. Nine Months to the Disco is a monster statement, equal parts ballroom bangers and dance floor clearers.
