The Manic Street Preachers open 1991 with their first release on England's coolest label, Heavenly. 'Motown Junk', a single, backed by 'Sorrow Sixteen' and 'We Her Majesty's Prisoners', is out on January 21st. Since their emergence six months ago, the Manic Street Preachers brand of political teenage rock 'n' roll has set them up to become the most important new band of 1991. With an appearance on Snub TV and a Mark Goodier radio 1 session set for transmission in January the Manic Street Preachers back up the chat when they set out on their first headline tour.
The back sleeve reads as follows:
Manic Street Preachers
Signed to Heavenly Records, Public Enemy meets The Clash. Birdland with brains, Happy Mondays processed thru Burroughs, Camus, Rimbaud. D.I.Y. style surgeons - a mess of eyeliner, white jeans and spray paint. Atrophied Kylie chic:
New Musical Express
They have more energy and anger and intelligence than any band I hae ever interviewed. By the end of the year they will be the most important rock band in the world. - Stephen Wells.
Amphetamine guitars skidding across jagged melodies - Stephen Dalton
They play a lot of songs in a short space of time, all are brash, boyant, fast, sexy and brilliant. The youger generation here, me included adore the Manic Street Preachers - Simon Dudfield
Melody Maker
Like the skeleton idea of Birdland fleshed out with real ideas and real songs - Bob Stanley
These 4 dizzy blondes and brunettes have got riot gouged deep in their chests - Paul Lester
Sounds
A dense teenage howl of protest - Ralph Traitor
I haven't witnessed such an exhilarating live performance since Birland ravaged the Astoria nearly a year ago. The difference is I'm convinced Manic Street Preachers mean it - Andy Peart
The Face
Manic Street Preachers could prove to be the most important rock band since the Pistols. Their music is all white hot energy and scorching intelligence. Motown Junk is set to be the most awesome and scandalous rock record of 1991 - Simon Dudfield.
This is reluctantly being sold - the vinyl is in mint condition and the cover just has a couple of marks.
