THE CLEAN 'Getting Older' 7"

** Please note, this is a preorder and stock is due mid-NOV **

Merge Records re-issue of THE CLEAN's "Getting Older" 7". Released posthumously after the band first split in late 1982, “Getting Older” was their humble attempt at a “Wall Of Sound” style production, with overdubbed viola, trumpet, maracas and drone guitar accompanied by backing vocals from Chris Knox and Martin Phillipps. The b-sides show the band at possibly their most experimental, with “Scrap Music” being two separate performances of the same instrumental laid over the top of each other with one panned from side to side. “Whatever I Do is Right/Wrong” features no guitar at all — a bold move from a band known for its inventive guitaring. 

Collectors should take note that this 7-inch contains a small hidden extra — a few extra seconds of group discussion and false starts preceding “Whatever I Do is Right/Wrong” (humorously titled "Arguing" on the back cover) that has been shaved off from all previous digital releases of the song.
