4 Rare 80s Albums [Part 19] Post Punk Bands

Today I had a little e-mail chat with a cool friend of mine who reminded me of one great post punk band, so this made me think of posting four post punk records as well. WARNING! post punk is not your regular 80's stuff. It's a bit hard to swallow. If you've just started listening to the 80's, probably it's not the right genre to start with! Thanks to Edward for the inspiration and Pauline Murray & The Invisible Girls record!
