Cardiacs - A Little Man and A House and The Whole World Window CD

Alpha CD 007

This was the group's fourth album and it was the one that almost (and perhaps should have) catapulted them into the big time in the UK.

The Cardiacs are a great, long-lived UK outfit, founded in 1977, who combine punk energy with very odd cabaret leanings and a fondness for musical complexity that undoubtedly got them gobbed on even more than usual during the 'age of punk'.
