The Creepers - Sleeper (full album)

[@leehewitt8653]

brilliant band, should have been big

[@paulturton9755]

Fantastic collection. They should have been massive. So underrated.

30 years later and I still love this collection! I hunted down the proper releases over the years and this is definitely the desert island disc. It’s too bad Mr. Riley stopped making music, he’s a brilliant song writer and in top form really gave the Fall a run for their money!

I've been looking for "Miserable Sinners" for many, many years. This was a great retrospective, though (I would've included "Teacher Travel" from the debut and a few more from the second full-length over a few trax from the final album, but it's almost all great). Riley's value to The Fall while he was in the band is so clear with The Creepers, you'd think more fans would take an interest in them.

Troy Palmer couldn't get my hands on their stuff fast enough back in the day.

Still good 👍👍👍🙃

[@mrlongtree]

A really great band. As a big fan of The Fall I always thought Marc Riley was ace.

[@skratzman]

Thanks for posting. These records are rarer than unicorns. I'm starting to like them more than the Fall. The lyrics are funny, but cryptic. What are these songs about? No clue.

[@NickHilditch]

One of them is about motorbikes.

I'm sorry I don't know, I just know I like their music :)

Jumper Clown is about Mark E Smith... think about it.

[@chuckabbate5924]

@@patrickgallagherchannel1734 Two outsized personalities, I prefer Mr Riley over Smith,,,they made for great music Riley cut his teeth in the Fall, and then lobbed aural hand grenades back at Mr Smith who then replied with C.R.E.E.P.!

Only one question - where is “hop in your Citroen and go”? I forget the title, and could have sworn that was on here. Guess I need to dig out my Creepers vinyl and see...

[@Mycarrox]

I only had acces to the cd. A track with Citroën wasnt on there, i would have known being a citrofile myself!

[@AppleOno]

You're thinking of the song Baby Pants.

[@AppleOno]

@@markt1406 I love that song. I love all of 'em! Long live Marc Riley & The Creepers!
