Or, to give it its full title: Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It’s All Over It Is Now.

Based out of Chatham, Kent, the Dentists had connections with the knockabout mid-1980s Medway scene. Although the four-piece comported themselves like foppish psych revivalists – ‘Mary Won’t Come Out To Play’, anyone? – their music was much smarter and scruffier than the surface impression might suggest.

Originally released on the little-remembered Spruck label in 1985, debut album Some People On The Pitch remains their best – a forceful set of Byrds-indebted jangle, at once too hungry to be called twee and too pretty to be mistaken for punk. Three more albums followed before the band’s dissolution in the early 1990s, the pick of which remains 1992’s best-of compilation Dressed.

Next month, Chicago imprint Trouble In Mind – previously home to indie darlings like Mikal Cronin and Ty Segall – will put out a full remaster of Some People Are On The Pitch… The new edition has been reproduced from the original tapes by Jason Ward, and comes enclosed in a replica sleeve.

Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It’s All Over It Is Now is due on Trouble In Mind on August The first 500 copies will arrive on blue vinyl.
