Label: Sing Sing Records (2010) / Bachelor Records (2019) SUPPORT THE MUSICIANS, buy their music! https://protexbelfast.bandcamp.com/al... Absolutely stellar power pop album! This is the Bachelor Records reissue. Remastered with improved speed and sound. "Formed in Belfast in 1978, Protex were one of the pioneers of the Belfast Punk Movement. They quickly came to the attention of Rough Trade Records who released Don’t Ring Me Up to wide acclaim. This in turn led to the band signing for Polydor Records who released the singles I Can’t Cope, followed by I Can Only Dream." "Reissue of the 2010 release on Sing Sing Records, NYC, USA. This is the first album of PROTEX, recorded in 1979-1980 for a release on Polydor records, but the record never came out because the label was interested in the next big thing, after punk rock…. The guys from Sing Sing Records unearthed this masterpiece and put it out in 2010, it was sold out and OOP soon afterwards. So nearly 10 years after you have the possibility to buy this classic for a normal price. The Bachelor Records release of “Strange Obsessions” is not only a simple repress, we managed to improve the sound and speed, thanks to Eric Brady, PLUS the artwork was changed a bit too!"
