SPELLING MISTAKES Feels So Good [LP]
Taking the sneer and aggression from the first wave of seventies punk and matching it with a sixties pop sensibility, The Spelling Mistakes recorded the classic Feels So Good, the notorious (The Ballad Of) Reena's Piss Flaps, and a handful of demos. Feels So Good brings together their 1979 and 1980 recordings re-issued for the first time from the original master tapes.
PLUS two 7” releases, one a re-issue of the legendary Suburban Reptiles 1978 release, the other brand new material from The Phoenix Foundation.
