Formed in early ’79, original DIY punks The Door and the Window included both Grant Showbiz and Mark Perry, at that time disillusioned by the constraints and expectations of Alternative TV.
Having published a fanzine Common Knowledge promoting DIY record production, the band became widely respected and shared bills with The Pop Group, Scritti Politti, The Raincoats, Delta Five and Swell Maps.
‘Detailed Twang’ was released in 1980 and sold 2,000 copies at the ridiculously cheap price of £3.
This re-issue LP replicates the original album but with the bonus of an inner bag featuring a detailed band history and rare photos, limited to just 500 copies making rarer than the highly collectable original!
