│release notes.
rare on CD original issue (only ever in Japan) of this Dennis
Bovell produced final album from Orange Juice. this is not the
1998 UK remaster.
The leaders of the Scottish neo-pop uprising, Orange Juice formed
in Glasgow in late 1976. Originally dubbed the Nu-Sonics, the group
comprised vocalist/guitarist Edwyn Collins, guitarist James Kirk,
bassist David McClymont and drummer Steven Daly; following the
formation of the Postcard label by Collins protege Alan Horne, the
quartet renamed itself Orange Juice in 1979, adopting the new
moniker as well as an aura of romantic innocence as a direct
reaction to the increasingly macho aggression of punk.
As Postcard's flagship band, Orange Juice quickly distinguished the
label as a leading proponent of independent pop music. After the
1982 release of the first album, titled You Can't Hide Your Love
Forever, ex-Josef K guitarist Malcolm Ross joined the group,
hastening the exit of Kirk and Daly (who went on to form Memphis)
and paving the way for Zimbabwe-born drummer Zeke Manyika.
Manyika's addition gave Collins the new capability of exploring a
more complex fusion of pop and blue-eyed soul; consequently, 1982's
Rip It Up was a more ambitious affair than its predecessor, veering
from the buoyant Motown tribute "I Can't Help Myself" to the
energetic pop of the title track, Orange Juice's lone Top Ten
single. However, subsequent releases failed to chart, and relations
between the group and Polydor began to disintegrate; amid these
tensions, both Ross and McClymont quit, with Ross later resurfacing
in Aztec Camera. Reduced to the duo of Collins and Manyika, Orange
Juice enlisted reggae producer Dennis Bovell to record the 1984 EP
Texas Fever.
After a makeshift tour, Collins and Manyika returned to the studio
to record a dark, ambitious full-length effort; released in 1984,
neither The Orange Juice nor its singles "What Presence?!" and
"Lean Period" charted, and Collins was dropped from his contract,
although Polydor kept Manyika on as a solo act.
