Mother's Hour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mother's Hour is a 7" single by Manchester post-punk band Ludus, released in 1981 on New Hormones. It was pronounced "the single of the week" in Sounds, but "formidably unlistenable" by Melody Maker. Its B-side, "Patient", is a different version of a song from the previously released cassette Pickpocket, with new and considerably more evolved lyrics (instead of just one line in the previous version). This version of the song was included in the 2002 compilation The Damage. The A-side, "Mother's Hour", is included in the other reissue CD, The Visit/The Seduction.
