McCarthy - Keep An Open Mind Or Else

McCarthy
Keep An Open Mind Or Else
1989 Midnight Music

McCarthy formed in 1985 in Barking, Essex, England and consisted of Gary Baker on drums, Malcolm Eden on guitar and vocals, Tim Gane on lead guitar, John Williamson on bass, and, toward the very end of the group's run, Laetitia Sadier on backup vocals.

By 1990, when front man Malcolm Eden decided to put the band to rest, they had released three records and several EPs. Malcolm went on to form Herzfeld, and after pursuing his new band for a few years, retired from the music business altogether. Tim and Laetitia went on to form Stereolab.

Sensuround - Blind Faith (Promo)

SENSUROUND
Blind Faith (Promo)
1991 Not On Label (Icerink Records)

Notes :
White label promo, limited pressing of 200 copies. Includes a sample of The Doors "Riders On The Storm", that was removed on the official release on Icerink Records.
Self released by the band according to the PR sheet that came with this promo. However, the catalogue number is consistent with a Creation Records promo release from this era. The tracks were subsequently issued (in a different form) on Icerink records, a subsidiary of Creation.

01. Blind Faith (Epic Dance Mix)
02. Blind Faith (Radio Version)
