The Pop Group - Alien Blood, Vinyl LP

The Pop Group - Alien Blood, Vinyl LP

Previously only available as part of a box set, The Pop Group’s "Alien Blood” follows "Y," the highly influential and innovative debut work, released in 1979. In the same year The Pop Group released their single "She is Beyond Good & Evil / 3:38." Alien Blood is the result of the band’s meticulous process of revisiting the original 2” tapes of their studio sessions and recordings, unearthing never-before-heard material, whilst exposing the raw skeletons of iconic tracks such as the original velocity of “Thief of Fire (Bass Addict).”

Alien Blood reveals the life of their debut studio album “Y" before everything was finalized, exposing revelatory dimensions within these iconic works. The Pop Group went on to release two further singles, “We Are All Prostitutes” and “Where There Is A Will” (Split single with the Slits), and one further studio album, "For How Much Do We Tolerate Mass Murder," before splitting up in 1981. Frontman, Mark Stewart, embarked on a solo career releasing his pioneering album Learning To Live With Cowardice in 1983. Gareth Sager and Bruce Smith went on to form Rip Rig & Panic alongside Neneh Cherry. The Pop Group reformed in 2010 to tour and have since released two new studio albums.
