The Stones - Down and Around

To be fair it's a pretty raw recording, but look past the low production values and 'Down and Around' by the Stones has a real charm to it that still sounds lo-fi fresh today. Featuring on the now infamous 1982 Flying Nun Dunedin Double EP, the track rolls and chugs along, instruments mostly coming together, with the band producing a 'who gives a damn', post-punk vibe that is naive yet absolutely free sounding. The Stones went on to produce one more EP before disbanding shortly thereafter - a real shame.
