The very first mention of Echo & the Bunnymen on the internet, from a usenet post to net.music on June 28th 1983:
Porcupine -- Echo and the Bunnymen [Sire/Korova album]
This album transcends any ``psychedelic revival'' tag people may put on it,
but yes, it will remind you of those days gone by, especially with L. Shankar
sitting in on a few cuts. Very good vocals and lyrics.

There are some other reviews on that post from 1983 that are worth reading that will make some of us feel old(er) such as "new" releases by Prince, U2, David Bowie, etc
