Balloon d'Essai - Grow Up 12" EP (1983)

This is a request I've been sitting on for a while. Ballon d'Essai recorded two EPs for Flying Nun in the early eighties; 1981's 'This is the Level Crossing' and 1983's 'Grow Up' are not always successful in their art-damaged punk stylings, but there are enough worthwhile ideas and sheer exuberence on hand to make up for it over the course of a record. They're very of their time, for good and ill. Comics were included with each release, scanned here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. - Ariel

Thanks for putting this up, I would have had no chance of hearing it otherwise - I've only seen this record pop up once since I've been collecting and it went for $400 NZ.
