Lost single is finally released -27 years later
A SONG produced by legendary Manchester music maestro Martin
Hannett is finally being released - more than 15 years after his death.
The Joy Division and Factory producer worked on the track
Danceable for Manchester band Illustration in their 1980's heyday,
Unfortunately, the band split up just as the single was about to be
released and their record company Some Bizzare, pulled it's release,
choosing instead to focus on their other newly signed act Soft Cell,
whose first single Tainted Love went on to reach No1.
But the song has now been made available on Manchester label
Invisiblegirl Records -27 years after it was first planned.
Invisiblegirl has been established by former Illustration member
Julia Adamson who's company is based in Stockport.
Julia tells me 'Martin was notoriously difficult to work with and our
guitarist struggled to cope. Our drummer left during those sessions
and ultimately the band split up so the song was never released'
Illustration can be downloaded from iTunes and more information
is available at invisiblegirl.co.uk

Danceable is now available from the following links
or 
on CD
(both Illustration singles).
