Colors Out Of Time

The Colours Out Of Time (also spelled with "Colors") were a post-punk band formed in 1980 in Crewe, Cheshire. The lineup included Steve Reynolds (lead vocals), Dave "MD" Robbins (lead guitar, 12-string guitar, bass, vocals), Andy Pennance (guitar, bass, psaltery, multi-instrumentalist), Phil Bourne (bass), John Durrant (drums) & Andy Buckley (keyboards, drums). Their inspirations included Echo & The Bunnymen & The Teardrop Explodes and are "Regarded as one of the most significant 'lost' bands of the post New Wave era".

The band sent out their debut record to John with a letter (audio of which can be heard on Jarvis Cocker's Peel Acres episode):
"Hello John, this is the first single by 'The Colors Out Of Time' on our 'Monsters In Orbit' label. It'll be available from Rough Trade very soon. A-side is 'Rock Section', 'Mambo Girls', B-side is 'Dancing With Joy'. Please play this single soon, and you know how it helps if you play it more than once. Give us some help why don't you?
Cheers, Dave Robbins."
The record was indeed played multiple times but never resulted in a Rough Trade record deal as Dave says. The band however were given a session for the show in May 1981 at the Langham studio.
