Playing The Chameleons' What Does Anything Mean Basically?

The Chameleons were one of my favorite bands from the New Wave era (although they were never New Wave). I only had two of their records -- What Does Anything Mean Basically (the one pictured here) and Strange Times that featured "Mad Jack" and "Tears."

My copy of What Does Anything Mean Basically is the first British pressing! 

I loved the dark and brooding music that was like an extension of Joy Division.  Along with the pre-Bring On the Dancing Horses Echo and the Bunnymen, I played these bands a lot. Loud too. 

I was surprised when the band broke up in 1987 after their manager passed away. They really should have been bigger.
