Notes ; this got to the test pressing stage , but was never officially released. Was later put out as a bootleg (on tape) by Grim Humour fanzine.

 

 

 

There is apparently a Japanese album , which I think is the 2 legitimate 12”’s compiled together. Sadly I’ve not seen one in the flesh to confirm all this.

Before forming Furyo

Abbo , Steve Harle and Eddie Branch appeared on 2 compilation albums under different aliases. Albie de Luca had not joined on guitar at this point , these tracks were recorded with a guy called Patrick. Both were played at early Furyo gigs.

The Whip is now available on Jungle Records , with the Slavedrive track now wrongly credited to UK Decay. As far as I know “Meat of Youth “ has never been re-issued. An early appearance of Furyo on CD is on the “Anagram Punk Singles” compilation , where “Legacy” sits uncomfortably alongside the likes of One Way System and Angelic Upstarts.

All the Furyo releases had the same line-up , singer Abbo , drummer Steve Harle and bassist Eddie Branch (all ex-UK Decay) and guitarist Albie de Luca (ex- Gene Loves Jezebel). Albie played on 2 GLJ singles , “Screaming for Emmalene” and “Bruises”.

Post-Furyo , Abbo got into the management side of the business where he remains. Eddie played in Pete Murphy’s band (live and on record) for several years. Steve was involved behind the scenes with such acts as Click Click and Faith Over Reason. Albie has made a couple of “Rave Guitar” albums and still seems to be doing his thing.
