Arguably the best band to come out of Manchester, The Chameleons's critically-acclaimed classic 3rd album, Strange Times was recorded on the legendary Geffen label. The bands atmospheric, post-punk anthems, with soaring guitars and driving rhythms were at their peak with Mark Burgess's compelling vocals coming together to form a wall of the most beautiful noise you've ever heard. The Chameleons have long been named as influences on bands such as The Flaming Lips, The Killers, The Editors and Smashing Pumpkins. This Smoke Black vinyl reissue features bonus tracks.
