The Wendys - Pulling My Fingers Off

If timing is truly everything, then The Wendys had the misfortune of releasing their debut album shortly before the collapse of their record label, U.K. indie powerhouse Factory. Comprised of John Renton (vocals), Ian White (guitar), Johnny MacArthur (drums) and Arthur Renton (bass), The Wendys rode on a wave of critical acclaim and the usual hype from Factory's Tony Wilson when they emerged from Edinburgh, Scotland, in the early '90s. As the hysteria created by The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays began to dwindle, the Wendys were voted into "next big thing" status. Superstar producer Ian Broudie produced the group's 1991 debut "Gobbledygook" and while it was lauded by critics, the LP was overlooked by the public. When Factory hit the skids, it dragged the band with them; as grunge took command of the airwaves, there was no room for the Wendys' Madchester-inspired guitar pop. In 1999, Starshaped released the band's long-awaited second album "Sixfootwingspan".

Word Of Mouth (1992 Unreleased Album)
1992 Factory

Notes :
Finally, one of the most wanted and most obscure record that i've ever posted on the blog, unreleased second album demos by madchester legends and one of my favourite bands ever - Northside.
Second album demos were recorded in early 1992 and set to be released same year, and the lead single ''Want A Virgin'' was given a Factory catalogue number (FAC338), but Factory Records collapsed, leaving the excellent demos unheard.
I was waiting very long time for great copy of this lost treasure, all tracks are remastered to sound better.

01. Pleasuredome
02. Got My Soul
03. Temptation
04. Lights Out (Pleasure And Pain)
05. Freak Circus
06. Mr. Brown
07. Here Tonight
08. Sidewinder
