Abecedarians ‎– The Other Side Of The Fence [2x10''] (1990, Independent Project Records)

'Other Side of the Fence' compiles rare mid-'80s demos, remixes and other recordings cut by the Abecedarians before their move to Factory Records. However, the music here proves the Abecedarians were always a Factory band, at least in spirit; their instrumental interplay recalls both Joy Division and New Order throughout the collection, most particularly in the juxtaposition of subdued guitars against driving bass found in "Ghosts" and "John's Pop".
