Flesh for Lulu "Blue Sisters Swing/Big Fun City" (1985)


In 1985, the band signed to Hybrid Records and released a mini LP, Blue Sisters Swing, which was produced with Craig Leon. The cover image of two nuns kissing resulted in the album being banned in the United States and Europe. Flesh for Lulu then joined Statik records, who released Big Fun City later that year.

The Sisters of Mercy "First and Last and Always" (1985)


First and Last and Always, the debut album by UK band The Sisters of Mercy was released as a vinyl record on March 11, 1985, on band's own label Merciful Release under distribution contract with Eastwest/WEA. It has been described by songwriter and singer Andrew Eldritch as 'some decent songs, but iffy production'
.
All members of the band except Andrew Eldritch left the group after the album's promotional concert tour.

Despite Eldritch's highly vocal rejection of the designation "Goth", First and Last and Always has consistently been praised in the canon of gothic rock, and in December, 1999, Q magazine included it in their list of "The Best Gothic Albums of All Time".


A CD version, based on second generation tapes and containing remixes by Andrew Eldritch originally made for the original Japanese vinyl, was released in 1988. On the UK 1988 CD all ten tracks are those remixes. On the USA 1988 CD most of the ten tracks are those remixes, but some are the original mixes.

Many fans have considered the original 1985 vinyl version to be superior. After more than 20 years the original 1985 mix has been released as a CD in 2006. The 2006 CD also features all b-side tracks of the two singles off the album. Like the 1992 CD, the 2006 CD does not exist as a domestic pressing in the US and is only available as a UK-Import. Unfortunately, the remix version of "Body Electric" from the "Body And Soul" single still remains the only track of the 1984/85 era that has not been released on any official CD format.


Except for the 2006 CD, "Amphetamine Logic" is listed as "Logic" on the album, because WEA insisted that many high street retailers would not stock the album if the word "Amphetamine" was used. The band decided not to contest this in preference to incurring possible delays with the album release and difficulties with their contract.

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry "Blow" (1989)


Blow was Red Lorry Yellow Lorry's fourth album, released in 1989. It would be their final LP on major label Beggars Banquet off-shoot Situation Two in the UK; in the US it was released via Beggars Banquet/RCA. The album proved to be a slight change in direction for the band. While it still featured the Lorries's customary swirling rush of guitars, pounding drums, loud bass and Chris Reed's deep growling vocals, the songs here were a little slower, with stronger, more conventional melodies sweetened by occasional female backing vocals. Reed's lyrics were less downbeat, almost optimistic. Overall, Blow is a warmer album than the band's previous, somewhat dour offerings; the Lorries pretty much left their specious gothic rock trappings behind for good. The change may have resulted in better reviews but the sales were not impressive; Beggars Banquet dumped the band the following year.
