Is The War Over? was a compilation of 8 local Cardiff bands.  Young Marble Giants contributed "Ode to Booker T." and an early version of "Searching for Mr. Right." Reptile Ranch included Spike, later of Weekend and Alison Statton & Spike.  Beaver featured Dave Dearnaley, who later played on Colossal Youth's "Include Me Out." All tracks were recorded live at the Grass Roots Coffee Bar at 58 Charles St., Cardiff. The back cover says "IT WAS EASY, IT WAS CHEAP, YOUR TURN NEXT," referencing both the Desperate Bicycles and the still-new DIY zeitgeist.
