FATAL GIFT - The Truth

Recorded in 1985. Remastered 2024. Originally on their "Fatal Gift" 2-track ltd self-produced K7/tape (1985) This remastered version is included (as B2 track) in their "So Dear So Cheap" LTD LP Compilation released by DEAD WAX RECORDS (DW046) in 2024: https://deadwaxrecords.bandcamp.com/a... (from DEAD WAX RECORDS 2024 press release:) Hailing from Wrexham, North Wales, FATAL GIFT were active between 1983 and 1987, making a very elegant, romantic synth / guitar pop. With a sole 7” release put out in 1984, highly sought after amongst collectors and some virtually inexistent promo cassettes, we have gathered all their recorded material, most of it unheard, and put it on a vinyl LP, carefully mastered from the surviving reel to reel tapes and cassettes, for all of you to enjoy, 40 years later!! We bring you SO DEAR SO CHEAP as a limited, hand numbered edition split in two vinyl colours; 100 copies in clear and 150 in standard black, housed in a matt finish sleeve with a double sided insert and download code. Fatal Gift were initially formed in Wrexham, North Wales in June 1983 from the remnants of local band Yensleep in the post-punk/new wave era. They were initially a duo; Jon MORRIS on Guitars and Nick SEMPER on Bass and Vocals. They were soon joined by Mike WILLIAMS on keyboards who added the electronic element to the guitar-based sound. Earliest recordings feature a primitive drum machine, eventually to be replaced by Mark ‘Snappy’ JONES on drums and percussion. With the line-up completed, they played locally but also entered the University & Polytechnic circuit in 1984, touring extensively around the UK. Fatal Gift operated until 1987 whereupon the members pursued successful careers in teaching, policing and the NHS. Sadly Snappy passed in the mid-90s.
