DECIMA VICTIMA
DECIMA VICTIMA (GATEFOLD) (MUNSTER)
Décima Víctima were a Spanish band that, during their short-lived career between 1981 and 1984, developed a very personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure and other British post-punk bands.
Rarely has any Spanish band achieved such a high degree of quality and coherence in their music and personality.
Despite only being active for under three years, Décima Víctima left a long-lasting legacy, and their influence would later be heard in Spanish bands such as Family, Los Planetas and Sr Chinarro.
For this edition, the sound of the original tape recordings has been cleaned and improved and the artwork has been slightly modified following the band's original idea.
The original ssions were no short of joy and experimentation. Paco Trinidad, the producer, understood what the band wanted and managed to achieve it technically.
Despite commercial success evaded them, their first LP was acclaimed by the press, especially by El Pais, one of the biggest-selling newspapers in Spain.
Unavailable for years and always in high demand, this is the first time their debut album gets an official reissue in its original single LP format.
