Jerry Livingston-Valentine I've loved this band since I first heard them play on Soft Cell's debut album. Since then I have purchased every release they put out. Now I'm ecstatic knowing a new album is coming after 35 years!!!

Post-Punk Monk This LP exploded the storyline of VP with seven new songs joining their canon. All of them were good. "Baby It's Too Late" and “My Man + Me” better than good. After seeing songs pop up online where we couldn’t buy them, it was fantastic finally having this material presented commercially. Vicious Pink fans need this and there's more in the channel. Bring it on! Full review here: postpunkmonk.com/2022/04/07/record-review-vicious-pink-west-view-us-2xlp-part-1/ Favorite track: Baby It's Too Late.

andrea Ccc can"t Belive my hears. A wish comes true. Absolutely FANTASTIC album. Brian & Josephine thank you so much for sharing the rarities and demo traxx. Many Kisses. A. Favorite track: My Man And Me.

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Minimal Wave is honored to present West View, a double LP of rare demos and newly remastered classics by UK duo Vicious Pink. Vicious Pink was an electrifying synth-pop duo formed by Josephine Warden and Brian Moss, who met in a smokey Leeds nightclub in 1979. The pair formed their band Vicious Pink Phenomena and soon after went on to provide gloriously off-kilter backing vocals for their friends, Soft Cell, completely unrehearsed. Later, they dropped Phenomena to simplify their name. Between 1982 and 1986, they released seven singles that all reached the UK dance charts, despite the fact that their ambitions never lay in commercial success. To this day, their music remains artful, catchy, and provocative. West View compiles material from their early days together, featuring previously unreleased demos as well as newly remastered classics like Cccan’t You See and My Private Tokyo. The double LP is housed in a glossy heavyweight sleeve, accompanied by a 12-page LP-sized booklet featuring the duo’s entire ‘how it happened’ story, unpublished lyrics, and unpublished photos from those early years. The double LP is limited to 999 copies, half the pressing is on neon pink 160-gram vinyl the other half on 160-gram black vinyl. All Bandcamp and website orders will receive a Vicious Pink postcard.

Includes unlimited streaming of West View via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. ... more

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
