It was released in the same month as the NME and Rough Trade combined to release a mail-order compilation of the music of the UK Post-punk/ New wave scene. This, now classic, compilation was released in the form of the C81 promotional cassette tape and effectively marked the end of the scene it celebrated and the start of the ' Indie' period. So the ' League of Gentlemen' was released at a cultural cusp. The band had been positioned by Fripp himself as a new wave instrumental dance band which would suggest that he considered the music produced by the band to be ' New wave' in character. Commentators have pointed to the rawness of the production as significant in so far as this approach had been popular among producers of Post-punk/ New wave recordings of the time.
