The Claim – Armstrong's Revenge & Eleven Other Short Stories [LP] (1986, Trick Bag Records)

 

The Claim were a British band from Cliffe, Kent, England. They formed around 1980, as part of the independent Medway scene around the nearby towns of Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham and influenced by classic acts such as The Kinks, The Jam, The Clash and The Smiths. Stylistically, they shared much in common with fellow Kent band The Dentists and early Creation Records acts such as The Jasmine Minks. 

Between 1985 and 1992, The Claim released two albums and various singles and EPs, first on their own record label, and then via Kevin Pearce's Esurient Communications imprint, Bob Stanley's Caff label and the German-based label A Turntable Friend. Their first outing, 'Armstrong’s Revenge & Eleven Other Short Stories' was followed by the 12" EP 'This Pencil Was Obviously Sharpened By a Left-Handed Indian Knife Thrower' (again on Trick Bag Records). None of The Claim's music appeared on CD at the time. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
