Formed in late 1978 as a reaction to the shortage of new electronic dance music to play at 'The Blitz', disillusioned ex-RICH KIDS members Midge Ure and Rusty Egan recruited its figurehead Steve Strange to front the project under the name of VISAGE. They recorded a cover of the Zager and Evans one hit-wonder "In The Year 2525" as one of several demos which were subsequently offered to EMI and turned down!
The demos though soon caught the attention of producer Martin Rushent who had an office above 'The Blitz'. Working for Warners subsidiary Radar Records, he was intending to launch his own Genetic Records imprint through them. With their own bands on temporary hiatus, ULTRAVOX's Billy Currie and MAGAZINE's Dave Formula, the late John McGeoch and Barry Adamson (who left shortly after but later returned as a 'hired hand') were soon recruited and together at Rushent's incumbent Genetic Sound Studios in Reading, they started recording an album. The first track from those sessions "Tar" was released as a single on Radar in September 1979 but within days, Warners pulled the plug on the label and plans for Genetic Records became stillborn. This move was extremely short sighted on Warners part as Rushent had been in discussions with several acts about signing them, apart from VISAGE, it was rumoured that JOY DIVISION, ULTRAVOX and SPANDAU BALLET were also waiting in the wings
