RUSTY EGAN
Solo Projects

Sep 1980 7" Shock: Angel Face

    Angel Face 3.20 / R.E.R.B. 3.09 (7": RCA/BMG, RCA 14)

    Angel Face (extended) 6.27 / R.E.R.B. (extended) 5.48 (12": RCAT 14)

A-side is a cover song, B-side written by Egan/Burgess. DVD+CD available from http://www.timdry.co.uk/shock.htm

The following is a quote taken from http://www.tikandtok.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/music.htm "Originally created as a backing track by Rusty Egan (RICH KIDS / VISAGE) and Richard Burgess (LANDSCAPE), this was presented to SHOCK to front as a way in to getting a record deal. The only members of the group actually singing on the single are Barbie Wide and L.A.Richards. We used it as the high point of our stage act, and mimed to it on TV shows throughout the summer of 1980. RCA thought of Shock as a novelty act at this time - a kind of futurist version of HOT GOSSIP, and did not give the record the push that it deserved. It should have charted but only scraped into the bottom end of the Top 70. The 12" is a tour de force of electro percussion by the two rhythmic producers, and still sounds exciting today. The B side is an instrumental by the two R's and is almost a straightforward but atmospheric 12 Bar. No input from Shock on this at all!"
