Strange Times 2CD

Strange Times is the Chameleons' third album, cut in about five weeks at Jacob's Studio in Surrey with David M. Allen behind the desk. The Manchester post-punk band split not long after finishing it and didn't make another record together for almost fifteen years, though Noel Gallagher has named this one an early influence on his own writing. Early US copies shipped with a second LP tacked on, six extra tracks that never made the original album, which is the version worth tracking down.
