ON THIS DAY ... in 1980 - MIKE SCOTT and ANOTHER PRETTY FACE

26 photos from the Moonlight club, West Hampstead in 1980

ANOTHER PRETTY FACE - DISCOGS

Classic pre-Waterboys punk band featuring Mike Scott, which spawned four gorgeous singles and one (cassette) album, before Mike and guitarist John Caldwell briefly continued as Funhouse, then Red And Black. Awesome potential, but somewhat stifled by involvement with Virgin. You may be familiar with some tracks but I have included links to some awesome songs you should like (especially ‘Graduation Day’), including one of demos and live tracks which includes my favourite, ‘Boy In Black Leather’. Enjoy.
