about

A compilation of tracks from two cassette demo releases circa 1986 : A DIVIL IN UNDIES and BRING ME THE HEAD OF PAM AYRES (a live session which was recorded for Radio Leeds).

The Gargoyles were famously the best band from Hull (The Housemartins were apparently 3rd best, and What Katy Did Next were 2nd - check out their music elsewhere on bandcamp). They released a mini-album MRS TWO DINNERS, an album STEAM-FLAPPER and two singles MAGNIFICENT CHURCH and MAD MEN FROM THE PLANET SEX. They also produced a fanzine, THE NUDIST and their fan club was SCHOOL FOR SPIES.

An excellent live recording of The Gargoyles at The Adelphi club in their home city of Hull is also available for download on Sheffield Tape Archive.
