The Ex - Blueprints For A Blackout

Blueprints For A Blackout is The Ex's fifth album, originally released in 1984. 
 
Formed in Amsterdam in 1979, The Ex have personified the do-it-yourself and forward-thinking spirit of punk ever since. On the double-album, Blueprints For A Blackout, whilst retaining the edginess of their previous records, the band introduced various instrumentation and influences (perhaps most notably that of free-jazz) that placed them head and shoulders above their contemporaries, as they became more experimental with every new release. 
 
This reissue, on their own Ex Records, features the original artwork and full-size 24-page booklet.
