One of the most undervalued of the post-punk bands to emerge from Manchester, The Passage were active between 1978 & 1983 producing four cult albums & a slew of singles. Pindrop, their dense first album, originally appeared in 1980 on the Object label & has been unavailable for two decades. Here Passage main man, Richard 'Dick' Witts, performs most of the material. Stand-out tracks include Watching You Dance, Troops Out, & the powerful 16 Hours.
