Introducing the second release from "GREAT HIDDEN MISTAKE," a new label dedicated to Punk and New Wave: Gang of Four!

Here is a superb soundboard recording of the legendary UK post-punk band, Gang of Four. It features the iconic guitarist Andy Gill—whose edgy, staccato guitar style inspired countless followers—and vocalist Jon King, who delivers aggressive lyrics in a style that shifts between conversational speech and impassioned shouting. It is no exaggeration to say that the era of post-punk began with Gang of Four. Andy Gill passed away on February 1, 2020; we hope you fully enjoy Gill's guitar work on this essential, keeper-quality recording.
