Description

Peripheral Minimal is proud to present, collated for the first time, all three of Naked Lunch's 7-inch singles, repackaged into a stunning 12-inch EP, with a printed inner sleeve. Naked Lunch are an English band formed in 1979, by Tony Mayo, and later joined by Mick Clarke. In preparation to play live further members were advertised for and Tim Yorke, Paul Nicholas Davies and Cliff Chapman joined and then, in 1981, by Mark Irving who replaced Tim. The band was one of the first fully synth-based groups, and as such were featured on the 'Some Bizzare Album' alongside Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Blancmange and The The. A brief history of the band includes the fact that as early as 1979 they performed in a show alongside the likes of Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, Cabaret Voltaire, Fad Gadget, B-Movie and Clock DVA, organised by the band and Stevo Pearce (Some Bizzare Records). The band undertook the Naked Lunch's 'Electronic Indoctrination Tour' in 1980 which included a show at Leeds Futurama Festival. Naked Lunch then set about helping Pearce find artists and recordings to make up the Some Bizzare Album to which the band itself contributed 'La Femme' (a song originally called 'Le Femme' but Phonogram who released the album was licensed to change it to the grammatically correct French, missing the point of the androgyny of the electronic music scene and that the song was about that).

After a parting with Pearce, Naked Lunch became managed by Ramkup with the now 'infamous' single, 'Rabies' being released, though it suffered from a ban on daytime radio play due to the title, it received good airplay and support from the likes of John Peel and Nicky Horne on their nighttime shows. Line-up changes continued before the band split in 1981 with Mayo retaining the name Naked Lunch. A second version of the band emerged as a live act until 1985. Naked Lunch were then resurrected in 2010 and continue to this day. Tracks A1 + A2 are taken from the 7-inch 'Rabies/Slipping Again', originally released on Ramkup Records in 1981. Tracks A3 + B1 are taken from the 7-inch 'You Tie Me Down/Laugh Your Mind Away', originally released on Pleazure Records Ltd. in 1984. Tracks B2 + B3 are taken from the 7-inch 'Make Believe/Breathe', originally released on Pleazure Records Ltd. in 1984.
