Kissing The Pink – Naked (Yugoslavian Pressing)

Only 1 left in stock

$12.00

“First off, the name — the sexual innuendo implied in the band’s moniker, Kissing the Pink — surely races to the surface, but the truth of the matter is that the name is derived from a snooker/billiards reference to a weak shot; the innuendo was just a lucky coincidence. The band certainly lost more than they gained from the cross-referencing. Their music had very little to do with overt sexuality, but that name (coupled with some decidedly unsettling album artwork) didn’t help the group’s cause with record labels or the general public — yet those who heard the music before registering the images and name were the luckiest of new wavers in 1983. Kissing the Pink’s debut album, Naked, followed in the grand tradition of eccentric art-school collectives like Deaf School — pulling influences (and members) from all over the map, without a care for fashionability or marketability and, ultimately, giving rise to an album that sounds little like anything else created before or since. Long out of print and scarcely available in the digital realm, Naked was coveted well past its expiration date.” – allmusic.com
