"New York" drew amazing plaudits from the press and fans. Originally founded in Leeds, UK in 1977 at the same time fellow "townies" Gang Of Four emerged in the punk scene, the Mekons today, after 23 years of trials, tribulations and triumphs have become a prominent cult band with legions of fans and a growing base of international recognition, admiration and commercial attention.
In 1991, New York Times critic Jon Pareles called it "one of the best albums of the 1980s." Just as the Mekons began to grow in critical stature, their relationship with A&M Records became tense, and the Mekons were soon dropped by the label, unable to fulfill their commercial expectations.
20. Nov. 2001 · Released by ROIR as cassette-only in 1987 under the title Mekons New York, this album is a musical sound document of the Mekons 1986-1987 tour of the USA. This recording includes mostly live club date songs, ad libs, vaudeville sound-bytes and back of the van ribaldry and banter.
