Formed in 1987 by Fruitbat and Jim Bob, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine burst onto the scene with their signature style of indie punk-rock pop infused with samples, drum machines, and social commentary. Recorded on tour in 1993 in support of their UK Top 5 album 'Post Historic Monsters', this new live album captures the band at the height of their powers. The 19-song setlist includes blistering performances of recent singles 'Lenny And Terence' and 'Lean On Me I Won't Fall Over' along with Carter classics 'The Only Living Boy In New Cross' and 'Bloodsport For All' (also listen out for James Atkin from EMF on some guest guitar spots). Recently discovered in the archives, the show has been newly mixed from the original tapes by Les 'Fruitbat' Carter and Dave Draper. 'Up Pompey!' is pressed on 140g black vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with new artwork by Mark Reynolds.
