Label: Dais
Reissued 6/18/2021, Originally released 1984/1985
The long-awaited collection of rare and unreleased recordings from the short-lived UK post-punk outfit Getting the Fear. Formed in 1983 following the demise of The Southern Death Cult, members Barry Jepson, Buzz Burrows and Aki Haq Nawaz Qureshi quickly regrouped with the addition of enigmatic lead singer 'Bee' Hampshire (Psychic TV, Into a Circle). Getting The Fear spent the next few years chaotically crashing through nightclubs with their disaffected sound before suddenly disbanding in 1985. Package design by JS Aurelius, mastered by Josh Bonati, and includes booklet with liner notes, archival photos, and lyrics.
