POOH STICKS, THE
STRAIGHT UP: NOISE POLLUTION C88-90 (OPTIC NERVE)
New band-compiled album of The Pooh Sticks hits and misses. CD includes 8 page booklet. 'Mellifluous'...
is a word you won't hear much when conversation turns to early Pooh Sticks records. But 'noise pollution', sure: that comes up.
I've even used it myself. So look away now if you must: 'Straight Up: Noise Pollution C88-90' is a selection of some of the most loved/despised/ignored tracks released by The Pooh Sticks on however many records it was before it all went wilfully 'American' sometime around dotted-lining for BMG mega-corp in 1991.
