ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE + LIMITED EDITON RED VINYL 45RPM 7" (new/sealed)
The imminent release of a Mute compilation of the band's finest moments as the magazine looks back at the early days of Suicide. Frontman Alan Vega is unfortunately no longer with us, but we have a highly entertaining interview with multi-instrumentalist Martin Rev, who still winces as he recalls them attracting volleys of missiles from the audience at every gig they played. When they toured the UK with The Clash, Vega narrowly avoided being hit in the head by a flying axe in Glasgow. The extreme reaction Suicide provoked was because they used old keyboards and drum machines rather than guitars, but in doing so they invented a whole new genre of electronic music.
There's never been another electronic duo quite like Alan Vega and Martin Rev. An exclusive Suicide seven-inch to accompany the magazine.ue. It's pressed on red vinyl. The A-side is the nagging and dubby 'Ghost Rider', the opening salvo of the NYC group's debut album, which has been heralded as one of the 100 best tracks of the 1970s by both NME and Rolling Stone. Turn the disc over for an edit of an early mix of the chilling 'Frankie Teardrop', with completely different lyrics to the album version. Frankie is now a Vietnam War veteran rather than a factory worker and the result is more intense than ever.
