This is a collection of previously unreleased songs from founding
member of the legendary lo-fi band The Cleaners From Venus, Martin
Newell, before, during and after his time with the band (1967-1985).
Newell collected these songs from the forgotten nooks and crannies of
his colorful musical background. This record is the first release from
the band containing new songs from the time, since they disbanded in
1986. Liner notes unveil a personal glimpse into each song, written by
Newell himself.

As finishing piece to the “Vol.2″ batch of formerly cassette-only
releases from The Cleaners From Venus, the band’s cult continues to
grow as a new generation discovers this influential band. This release
comes off of critical claim from the first three records from the
band, “Vol. 1,” released in spring of 2011.

Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl, ‘Under Wartime
Conditions’ is a product of Martin Newell collaborating with longtime
friend and former Cleaner Lol Elliot. This is the second record in
the “Vol.2″ batch of formerly cassette-only reissues from this
legendary lo-fi band, which continues to be highly influential as
evident by the critical claim from the first three record from the
band, released in spring of 2011.

This is one of the many Cleaners from Venus formerly cassette only
releases fromMartin Newell founding member, who formed the legendary
lo-fi band Cleaners From Venus met in the small town of Wivenhow,
southeast England began work on ‘In the Golden Autumn’ in the warm
early spring of 1983. One of Newell’s chief problems at this time,
apart from constant money shortages, was finding musical collaborators
who shared his own skewed pop vision. The absolute opposite of a
musical perfectionist, the founder Cleaner believed that great pop was
to be had by doing things quickly, in slapdash fashion and by
‘fumbling around in the dark in search of happy accidents.’

Bona Dish were a scratchy pop punk group from Hertfordshire villages, brought together by their love of the Velvets, Supremes and each other. They were cool, handsome and gorgeous. The songs are simple but at the same time complex. The two girls, two boy’s line-up added a tension that was both sexual and musically fragile. You felt it might all fall apart any second but it rarely did.

After their “cassette in a tube” ploy worked for John Peel play, the band released a cassette on InPhaze and disbanded not long after. Collected here is a rediscovered gem showcasing the zest and spontaneity that gripped the UK DiY scene of the time, standing up to their contemporaries like Television Personalities, The Homosexuals and Marine Girls.

This release marks the first vinyl and cd release for BonaDish, their complete recorded output compiled and newly mastered.
