Poppy Factory - Stars EP

    

POPPY FACTORY
Stars EP
1991 Chrysalis

Notes :
Poppy Factory were a band from Bradford, England, signed to Chrysalis Records. They were: Jock Cotton (voice, guitar, words), Michael Dale (keyboards and bass guitar) and Jon MacDonald (keyboards).
They released one EP and three singles. Their debut, 'The Fabulous Beast EP', met critical acclaim and was played by a number of radio DJs and stations (it was notably thrashed by Rock FM's Tim Lancaster), though its chart performance didn't match industry reception. Next came the 7'' 'Stars', and then "7x7", produced by David Creffield.
The band's contract with Chrysalis foundered, and they self-released a 12'' promo, 'Drug House' before fading into obscurity.
An LP, 'Goodtime' was recorded, but never released by Chrysalis. 
The band's frontman Mickey Dale later rose to fame as the keyboard player for Embrace.

Collection

Some of you know that for very long time i'm looking for unreleased album by Poppy Factory - madchester pop band from Bradford, England. They released three singles in 1991 on Chrysalis Records: ''Stars EP'', ''Fabulous Beast EP'' and ''7x7''. Debut album titled ''Good Times'' was recorded but never officially released. Finally i found few unreleased tracks, at least five on this compilation, that i think are taken from this album.
I'm looking for more info about ''Good Times'', all help will be appreciated. Until then, enjoy in this great collection. Fantastic band.

The Joy - Shine (The Mandala Mixes)

 

 

 

THE JOY

Shine (The Mandala Mixes)

1994 Compulsion / Chrysalis

 

Notes :

Early 90's UK indie dance/electronic band influenced by Manchester music scene and dance music, band members were: Denise Johnson (vocals), Gavin O'Neill (vocals), Dave Tolan (bass, percussion and programming), Andy Tracey (guitar) and Ali Fletcher (drums, percussion and programming).

 

Melody Maker review of Shine single :

''Combining the vital elements of Pink Floyd, The Orb amd Andy Weatherall’s work with Primal Scream and One Dove, The Joy have recently arrived on this planet and already fallen off the edge. Clocking in at just over 27 minutes, their debut single “Shine” has only two contemporary peers; One Dove’s “Fallen” and Underworld’s “Mmm . . .Skyscraper I Love You''.
