Eat - Unreleased Second Album 1990

EAT
Unreleased Second Album
1990 Fiction Records

Notes:
First exclusive material on the blog in 2017, unreleased second album from London indie band Eat.
I heard some rumours that this album was recorded but never officially released, but i wasn't sure that really exists until now. I tried to find more info on the net and here's what i found on wikipedia:

''The band started out playing a distinctive mixture of swamp blues, hip hop and funk, showcased on their 1989 album ''Sell Me A God''. At this time they undertook tours of Europe with The Jesus and Mary Chain and Phillip Boa. Band tensions led to the abandonment of a second album in 1990, although they toured in October on the back of an NME single of the week, "Psycho Couch". However, a combination of internal feuds ("It got to the point where we just couldn't bear to be in the same room as each other") led to a complete split and meant that the band was effectively on hiatus from 1990 to 1992. The band returned with a different line up, a completely different sound - of pop and psychedelia - and the album ''Epicure'' in 1993. Despite positive reviews, a tour in the United States with Medicine, and extensive airplay, Eat had evidently run its course, and in 1995 Dolittle left to join members of The Wonder Stuff in Weknowwhereyoulive, whilst Howard joined The Wonder Stuff's singer Miles Hunt in his new project Vent 414.''
