The untitled album by :$OVIET:FRANCE:, also known as 'hessian', 'the hessian album', 'the burlap album' or 'OK Boys', is a music album of recordings which became the second commercial release by the British avant-garde music group Zoviet France. Recorded in December 1981[1], it was the first released in 1982 in 12 inch vinyl album format by the British record label, Red Rhino Records. Subsequently, a re-edited version was released in 1985 by Red Rhino Records, and then re-released by the British label Charrm in 12 inch vinyl album and compact disc (CD) formats (UK, 1990).
