JOHN FOXX- Discography for UK -
Oct ca 1979 | planned but unreleased 7" | Young Love |
Young Love 3.09 / [B-side is unknown] (Virgin, VS 303)
Robin Harris: " 'Young Love' was going to be John's first single back in late 1979,
but it was changed (for reasons unknown) to an alternative mix of 'A New Kind of Man' backed with 'Metal Beat'
(planned catalogue number was VS 303, a copy of this sleeve appeared in issue 13 of Extreme Voice)."
Nov ca 1979 | planned but unreleased 7" | A New Kind of Man |
A New Kind of Man 4.31 [1979 Single Version] / Metal Beat (Virgin, VS 303)
Dec 1979 | planned but unreleased 7" | Like a Miracle |
Like a Miracle 3.56 [1979 Version] / Film One (Virgin, VS 318)
Dave Crane informed me that before Underpass was eventually chosen as John's first solo single,
'Like a Miracle' was planned for release as a single after 'A New Kind of Man' was abandoned.
Dave: "The release date I have for this is December 1979, with 'Film One' as B-side. The catalogue number given is VS 318 - which was later used for Underpass.
I found this information in a 1982 Edition of the 'Music Master' catalogue, which I was lucky enough to get when I worked in a record shop in 1984."
10 Jan 1980 | 7"/promo 12" | Underpass |
Underpass 3.18 [Single Version / fade-in fade-out] / Film 1 (4.00) (7" with A1 matrix: Metal Beat/Virgin, VS 318)
Underpass 2.41 [Single Edit] / Film 1 (4.00) (7" with A2 matrix: VS 318)
Underpass 3.56 / He's a Liquid 3.01 [Alternative Mix] (white label promo 12": VDJ 31)
The "Alternative Mix" has been released on CD five times: 2001: MODERN ART - THE BEST OF JOHN FOXX (track 18). 2007: METAMATIC 2-CD (CD 2 track 13). 2014: 5-CD Box THE VIRGIN YEARS 1980-1985 (CD 1 track 20).
2015: 20TH CENTURY: THE NOISE (track 5). 2018: METAMATIC 3-CD (CD 2 track 15). The original white label vinyl 12" is very rare and hard to find, so I have not been able to compare it to these CD versions.
However, there are actually TWO different "Alternative Mixes" on CD (not counting the Instrumental Dub on METAMATIC 3-CD, CD 3 track 2).
The first "Alternative Mix" appeared only on the 2001 CD: MODERN ART - THE BEST OF JOHN FOXX (track 18). This differs much more from both the LP Version and Alternative Mix 2.
Here, the beat/rhythm and the vocals only matches the LP Version and Alternative Mix 2 for the first few seconds and again for the last few seconds.
In between, they do not match, and the beat and the vocals run out of sync most of the time. There are lots of phasing differences throughout the recording,
and also fewer background special effects on this version. In this respect, Alternative Mix 1 is a different take than the LP Version and Alternative Mix 2.
All the other four CDs which came out later (METAMATIC 2-CD, THE VIRGIN YEARS 1980-1985, 20TH CENTURY: THE NOISE, METAMATIC 3-CD) feature a different "Alternative Mix" which I call "Alternative Mix 2".
It's a slightly different mix than the LP version: It matches exactly beat for beat, vocal for vocal, but especially at the 1.00 mark, on the original version John Foxx's backing vocals are very low in the mix,
but on the Alternative Mix 2 you can hear them quite clearly.

20 March 1980 | 7"/2x7" | No-One Driving |
No-One Driving 3.46 [Single Remix] / Glimmer 3.35 (7": Metal Beat/Virgin, VS 338)
No-One Driving 3.46 [Single Remix] // Glimmer 3.35 / Mr. No 3.12 (7": VS 338)
No-One Driving 3.46 [Single Remix] / Glimmer 3.35 // This City 3.05 / Mr. No 3.12 (2x7": VS 338)
No-One Driving 2.53 [Single Remix - DJ Edit] / Glimmer 3.35 // This City 3.05 / Mr. No 3.12 (DJ 2x7": VS 338)
This single remix has the same basic structure as the album version when it comes to chorus and verses, but it differs from the LP version in that it has double-track vocals,
no percussive background beat and some added synth and piano overlays, and a more dramatic ending.
There is also a very small difference lyrics-wise: On the album version, at 2.50 he sings "someone's gone liquid in the sheets"
but on this single remix version he sings "someone's gone missing in the sheets".
This single remix has been released on four compilation CDs: MODERN ART - THE BEST OF JOHN FOXX (2001), GLIMMER: BEST OF JOHN FOXX (2008),
20TH CENTURY: THE NOISE (2015) and METAMATIC 3-CD 2018 (CD 2 track 12). (The 2010 Metatronic CD featured the album version.)
Apart from the album version and the single remix there is also an "Early Version" (on GLIMMER: BEST OF JOHN FOXX & METAMATIC 3-CD 2018, CD 3 track 18)
as well as an "Alternate Version" (on METAMATIC 3-CD 2018, CD 3 track 21). Finally there is the "DJ Edit" which is a shortened version of the single remix,
which was used for the music video clip, but it has never been released on CD or digitally.

Burning Car 3.12 / 20th Century 3.04 (Metal Beat/Virgin, VS 360)
2 Oct 1980 | flexi disc | My Face |
This flexi disc was included with 'Smash Hits' magazine Vol.2, No.20, 2-15 Oct 1980, and published by Island Music.
Thanks to Rodney Meiklejohn for giving me detalied info on this magazine.
The following text is taken directly from the 'Smash Hits' magazine:
"The John Foxx number, 'My Face', generously attached to the front page of this very publication, is just one of the forty or so tracks that the man has been working up while preparing for his second solo album.
Like most of his work, it began life as a demo made at his home and was later polished up in a proper studio. John explains that it's one of a number of songs he's written while working on a book to be called 'The Quiet Man', in which he tries to explore the idea of 'the people you pass in the street without noticing them.'
He's already used the idea of The Quiet Man as a point of view from which to write songs. The idea of the detached observer, he says, has great appeal for him.
At this point [1980] there is no release date for a new Foxx album. He currently has three projects in hand; a follow up to 'Metamatic', an album based on 'The Quiet Man' and some interesting experiments with a bunch of choral singers who go under the name of The Human Host.
'It's abstract music,' he [John Foxx] says, 'very uncommercial, but I love it.'
Rob Harris also added: "I've also got a scan of the front of the "My Face" 1/4" Production Master Tape Box (which I'll be putting up on the Metamatic website in the not too distant future) but unfortunately there's no note of the actual date it was recorded."

"Burning Car is a limited edition (750 copies only) gatefold LP release on John's own Metamatic Records label.
Inspired by a rare Japanese six-track mini-album of the same name which included singles and B-Sides from the Metamatic-era that weren't on the original album.
This new release expands that concept into a full twelve-track album featuring tracks such as This City, My Face, Mr No, Glimmer and the title track,
all mastered and cut for this rare and exclusive release thirty-six years after the January 1980 release of Metamatic.
This is the first time that Like A Miracle (Alternative Version) and Young Love have appeared on vinyl.
Each copy is individually numbered and features new artwork created by Jonathan Barnbrook."

Endlessly [1982 Single Version] 3.51 / Young Man 2.53 (Virgin, VS 513)
This is the "oriental" sounding version, produced by John Foxx.
autumn ca 1982 | unreleased LP | IN THE GLOW |
John had recorded around eight tracks for this planned LP, and there was even a catalogue number slated for this LP (see quote below)
but in the end he abandoned them in favour of his new album project "The Golden Section".
We can only speculate which eight tracks he had planned for this LP, but given the amount of bonus tracks that have appeared as B-sides and also in recent deluxe editions and compilations
it's quite possible that most if not all have been released by now (and if we only knew which tracks they were then it would be possible to recreate that album!)
https://web.archive.org/web/19990117023253/http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2463/secret.html
Andy from Staffs asked: "On Riverside [BBC2 TV series] you said that you scrapped an LP. Was this after your original 'Endlessly' single?"
John replied: "I'd recorded about eight tracks when I decided not to continue with them because I suddenly got a lot of fresh ideas and songs which I felt I had to pursue.
These became the Golden Section songs. All this happened at about the time of the 'Endlessly' single. It's not really a drama, as I tend to do this kind of thing all the time."

"Mr. Weirdo" wrote: "It was once almost released under the title of 'In the Glow' shortly after the original version of 'Endlessly' came out as a single back in '82.
I even remember that Virgin has already assigned a catalogue number to that album!!!"

John Foxx: Endlessly [1982 Long Version] 6.22 (Virgin, 302 291)
The credits say produced by Zeus B. Held & John Foxx, but it still sounds like the 1982 version, only longer.
My guess is, it was first planned as a 12" single companion to VS 513, but for unknown reasons it was never released at the time of the original single in July of 1982.
May 1983 | various artists MC | TOUCH - MERIDIANS 1 |
Mastered 1 May 1983. See http://acme.highpoint.edu/~whood/meridians1.html
May 1983 | various artists MC | TOUCH - MERIDIANS 2 |
See http://acme.highpoint.edu/~whood/meridians2.html.
Thanks to Nils Rundström for the information. It is a Maxell UD 60 cassette [mastered 6 May 1983]
with 16 songs by The Nocturnel Emission, Matador!, Virginia Astley, and some quite strange projects.
The John Foxx title is the first on side B (Copyright Control 1983 Quiet Man Music).
The cassette and the prints are packed in a A5 plastic bag with the title on it.
According to Nils 'It sounds like the material on Cathedral Ocean, very atmospheric.'
It includes an A5 print of artwork by John Foxx, and it was was distributed by Rough Trade.

John Foxx News 12 Oct 2005 informed: "Nation 12's long-lost album, 'Electrofear', is going to be released by Tape Modern Records on the 14th of November
[although the record label's own page at eBay said "LIMITED EDITION 500 COPIES ONLY! RELEASE DATE IS 5TH NOV SO IF YOU PURCHASE EARLY YOU WILL RECEIVE A DAY ON THE 6TH NOV EARLIEST!
WONT BE IN SHOPS TILL DECEMBER!!!"]. The album includes John Foxx's collaboration with Tim Simenon, "Remember", plus Nation 12's second single, "Electrofear".
However, most of the material has never been heard before. In total there are seventy-seven minutes of music including vocal-led John Foxx songs
such as "Shadow Dancing", "Your Kisses Burn" and "She Was", as well as very different versions of "Cities of Light" and "Invisible Women".
The album was rescued from obscurity by a John Foxx fan and then restored and mastered at Serendipity."

Info from Robin Harris 14 June 2005: The album is partly inspired by John's childhood experiences:
"I sang in a church choir when I was small and the way different churches
altered our performance always intrigued me. I've spent the rest of
my life pursuing things I heard then - echoes, reverberations,
architectural spaces and the human voice - plus electronic
simulations and manipulations of both. I realised that with
technology you could have a cathedral in a suitcase. It's music for a
vast, half-submerged cathedral. Walls overgrown. Music would be
moving quietly through the walls. Almost imperceptible unless you
focus on it. Slowly but constantly changing."

"John Foxx's classic 'Cathedral Oceans' is a twenty year project combining ambient music with his own images that slowly morph
into each other to create the effect of a 'moving stained glass window'.
This is the perfect souvenir for anyone who attended the recent performance of "Cathedral Oceans" at the Holy Trinity Church in Leeds.
The music contained on this DVD is 'Cathedral Oceans III' - and is therefore different to the original 'Cathedral Oceans' DVD which was released back in 2003."

"My Lost City is an album of instrumental music which John has been quietly assembling for the last few years.
In terms of style, the album includes early experiments with ideas that would eventually become 'Cathedral Oceans' such as the filmic,
synthesizer-driven 'Imperfect Hymn'; one beautiful track is built around piano but also features electronics; others are more tonal,
though melody features very strongly throughout My Lost City."

"Having met during their live performance in Brighton with Harold Budd
back in May 2005, John invited Steve Jansen to record tam-tams
(gongs) for a potential collaborative release. The dark tones of the
tam-tams created a bed for atmospherics and acoustic piano work to be
added. Due to various other commitments the release seemed to be
shelved until Steve D'Agostino (Single Cycle Reorder) took it upon
himself to complete the work."

- The Grey Suit 8.05
- Shifting City 9.48 (Metamatic Records, META24CD)
"John has written an album's worth of piano music especially for this release, which (together with ambient background noises such as birdsong)
acts as a backdrop for sections (read by Justin Barton) of his long-awaited book 'The Quiet Man'.
The album contains a 16-page booklet which features a series of new 'Quiet Man' images."
"The origins of the ["Quiet Man"] stories are firmly cinematic,' says Foxx. 'I found an old grey suit in a charity shop in the 1970s.
Over the years, I got some friends to wear the suit in various locations in London. I filmed them just walking or sitting in cafes or apartments.
As I did this, the story of "The Quiet Man" began to emerge. It's about London becoming overgrown, about the suit being alive somehow,
and the way cities can alter us - and our memories.' The original 'grey suit' (mentioned above) is also going to feature at the "DNA Exhibition"."

The second half of the album ("Ballardian Video Neuronica") features all the individual tracks, plus "Dashboard Melt" which John recorded for the project but didn't end up using."

It includes a precious Cathedral Oceans gem, ‘Splendour’ which has only ever been available on an album by various artists entitled Orphée,
and an unreleased instrumental track from the vaults, ‘Musique Electron’ – a melodic idea Foxx has had ‘for decades’.
The Metamatic material is taken from the 2014 master which is based on a set of 1979 analogue tapes recently found in the archives."

7 April 2017 | digital single | Hannah Peel: Hope Lasts |
- Cars in the Garden (Featuring John Foxx) 2.44
"Acclaimed Northern Irish singer-songwriter and electronic composer, Hannah Peel releases a new Erol Alkan Radio Mix single ‘Hope Lasts’,
taken from her remarkable second solo album ‘Awake But Always Dreaming’.
The bonus track is also a bit special. Last year she recorded a cover of John Foxx’s ‘Tidal Wave’ for a ltd edition vinyl project and the electronic innovator has returned the compliment by singing on her version of ‘Cars In The Garden’ – originally composed by Paul Buchanan from The Blue Nile. The track is included in the digital release of the new ‘Hope Lasts’ single."
