NUCLEAR DEVICE - 45 révolutions par minute

Nuclear Device was a band from Le Mans. They started in 1983. They was involved in the antiracist and social struggle. They was a part of the french alternative movement. Musically they was influenced by reggae, ska, punk and bands like Clash, Redskins and so on. This 12" was recorded at the WW studio. It was put out in 1985. Those titles contain the roots of what Nuclear Device will become but they were more raw. There is something strange with the titles: 3 titles on the sleeve and 4 on the plate.....
