Now an older rip and I can't remember where and when exactly bought this 7Inch but is worth listening. Repetition were a Post-Punk band from London, which formed in August 1979. The band's initial line-up was ex SpizzOil guitarist Pete Petrol, Xtraverts drummer Tim Transe, keyboard player A.S.D.H. (Andy Hooper), bassist AWOL (Nicholas), and vocalist Sarah Osbourne. The band were signed to Les Disques Du Crépuscule after gaining the interest of Annik Honore in 1979. Their first single A Still Reflex'/Fade Out was released in January 1981 and was recorded at Spaceward Studios in Saffron Waldon and notably produced by Joy Division manager, Rob Gretton. Owing to the connection with Brussels based Les Disques Du Crepuscule the band toured in Belgium and Holland in 1980 playing at Plan K in Brussels and the Effenaar in Eindhoven and appeared on Generation 80 TV show. The band were managed by Mick Scholefield who later went on to start Heist Or Hit Records. Steve Musham joined the band during this period, playing bass initially, and then replacing Osbourne on vocals on the next single,'A Full Rotation', recorded at Berry Street Studios in London, in 1980. The band recorded a John Peel session at Maida Vale studios on 08/08/1981. The session of four tracks was recorded with a line-up of vocalist/guitarist Steve Musham, ex Spizzenergi bassist/guitarist Jim Solar, Tim Transe (drums) & Andy Hooper (keyboards).
On 13 July Repetition, Marine, Eric Random, Richard Jobson & The Swamp Children performed during a Crepuscule Night at Heaven in London. The event was covered in NME and a cassette souvernir Rendez-Vous Au Paradis was announced but did not appear. Sexy 7Inch to calm down.
