Rough Trade - RT119TFirst track is an excellent dancefloor-oriented remix of "Baby Turns Blue" from the LP "...If I Die, I Die", produced by Wire's Colin Newman. I always liked the Virgin Prunes and I wonder why they're not shared more on the net... I never saw them as the grandfathers of the Goth Rock, more like an outgrowth of the punk/post-punk wave, close to the industrial bands (Gavin Friday, the lead singer, works with Dave Ball, Genesis P'Orridge and Coil, Balance & Christopherson made a video for them). They are the best irish band of the era and their concerts are legendary by their insanity.(VP's MySpace)
So, ripped by Rain (320/ZIP/RS)
More rare VP to follow...
tracklist
1- The Faculties Of A Broken Heart (What Should We Do If Baby Turns Blue)
2- Chance Of A Lifetime
3- Yeo
Thanks Alice for this one. I like VP.
RépondreSupprimerCheers
virgin prunes complete discography has been remastered and rereleased in 2004, including the 3 tracks on that 12". maybe that's the reason why they are not more often shared, though they are one of the best band ever...
RépondreSupprimerTo me 'Over the Rainbow' IS their best album. Compilation of rarities 1981-83.
RépondreSupprimerGavin Friday has also played with The Fall.
>English fog : you're welcome !
RépondreSupprimer>Tristan : ça n'explique pas tout... de toute façon, je mets ce qui me plait, pas forcément la rareté.
> art of losing : j'aime bien aussi "over the rainbow", mais je me demande si mon coeur ne balance pas entre "if I die, I Die" et "A New Form of Beauty" ("Hérésie" aussi est très bien). Y a que "the moon looked down ..." que j'aime peu. Va savoir pourquoi !
The faculties of a broken heart n'a pas me semble-t-il été réédité. Les formes radiophoniques et leurs actions succédamnées Sanson tenues à la version LP annonçant walls of jericho, l'ovni de l'album
RépondreSupprimerdes bootlegs / enregistrements live seraient les bienvenus!!! :-)
RépondreSupprimergrégory : y en a deux à venir !
RépondreSupprimerCe maxi a bien été réédité par Mute, la face A sur "Over The Rainbow" et les 2 titres de la face B on été intégrés dans "If I Die... I Die" (qui contient d'ailleurs un inédit)
RépondreSupprimerVirgin Prunes foram a essência e a nostalgia. Foram o verdadeiro 3º segredo de Fátima. Tenho toneladas de bootlegs desde os anos 80. Sei que há uns anos digitalizei tudo. Até videos. Tenho que procurar. À Bientôt
RépondreSupprimer>Bourbonese : o que e pena, e que so tenho 2 bootlegs para dar a descargar ! obrigado para o commentario ! si tems coisas para partilhar (bootlegs e videos) dos VP, nao te esquece de mim ! até breve amigo !
