Compilations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Other Recordings ;<\/h3>\n

UK Decay recorded 2 Peel Sessions for the BBC , details as follows ;<\/p>\n

Session 1<\/strong> ; (recorded 22.4.80)<\/p>\n

For My Country \/ Unwind Tonight \/ Sexual \/ Rising From The Dead<\/p>\n

Session 2<\/strong> ; (recorded 22.7.81)<\/p>\n

Stagestruck \/ Duel \/ Last in the House of Flames \/ Glass Ice<\/p>\n

Notes ; Unwind Tonight and Glass Ice were later re-named Unwind and Shattered on the Fresh releases. These are widely bootlegged but never officially released.<\/p>\n

\n

Appearances on Compilations;<\/h3>\n

The only otherwise unavailable UK Decay track on a compilation from the early period is an alternate version of For My Country on the Rough Trade Post Punk 01 compilation.<\/p>\n

Various other tracks have appeared on compilations over the years, in the 80s there was Unwind on A Fresh Selection and For My Country on Punk and Disorderly. In the 90s a number of Goth compilations have appeared with various UK Decay and In Excelsis tracks , these seem to be cash-ins that I cant be bothered to publicise.<\/p>\n

Note; See here for ‘Monokroms’ Compilation listings Monokroms Compilation Listings<\/a><\/p>\n

After UK Decay split , there were 2 low-key appearances on compilation albums by Abbo\/Twiggy\/Steve Harle prior to forming Furyo. Slave Drive by Slave Drive on The Whip and Meat of Youth by Meat of Youth on the Batcave album. I will include full details of these in the Furyo discography , but just to say the track Slave Drive is credited to UK Decay on the CD re-issue of The Whip, which is a bit cheeky and untrue.
