Wow ... I'd go just to meet Jayne Casey. She was "The Face" of the
famous Liverpool club, Eric's (remember Yazoo's "Upstairs At Eric's"?),
then she was in Big In Japan along with, among others, Budgie (later) of
Siouxsie & The Banshees and Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To
Hollywood.
But the main thing (IMHO) she did was form the band Pink Industry, who
put out an album in 1983 called "Who Told You, You Were Naked?" that is
one of my Greatest of All-Time electronic albums, so far ahead of its
time that it's almost silly. There was nothing like it when it came
out ... moody lo-fi electronics and Jayne's distinctive voice over the
top, utterly brilliant stuff.

released
tomorrow in the States ...
