Cheap Cinema - Fade Away (1983)


b/w a loan again

another great 2 sider - although "a loan again" is the powerpop winner for me.
I have to admit, (once again) to knowing nothing about this quartet.
By, the pressing, the label design & the sound, I would have guessed this was an American 45 but it has a Warrington phone number on the label & it's the correct area code for the Cheshire "new town"
- so it's another lost classic in the vein of all the "bomp" label female vocal bands.
If anyone knows anything about this band especially the release year, I'd appreciate the info.

  2. Single came out in June 1983 - band were 19 (or thereabouts) at the time. It had a bit of airplay locally, and was in the Manchester record shops (Virgin, Piccadilly Records etc). Trivia time - bassist and guitarist were previously in a band called Suburban Chaos - who shared a number of gigs with a band called The Patrol - later to become the Stone Roses. (Check out any Stone Roses biography and they usually mention Suburban Chaos - don't believe everything you read though!)
