Steve Strange Project: In the Year 2525

In the Year 2525 (3.40)

Al Crawford: 'Visage arose from the wreckage of the late 70s 'supergroup' The Rich Kids. This group, which both Ure and Egan had been members of, disbanded leaving Ure with several hours of unused studio time. After Ure and Egan (plus three others) formed the short lived Misfits, he donated this time to Steve Strange, who was looking to record some 'futuristic disco' for his Blitz club. The studio group they put together became Visage and the track recorded in that session was a cover of Zager and Evans' In the Year 2525.'

Marsha Raven, Karen Ramsey, Rose Patterson (backing vocals). Fairlight programming: J.J. Recorded at Trident Studios 1982/83.

Al Crawford gave me this info: 'Billy Currie and Dave Formula left during the early stages of the recording of 'Beat Boy' after a disagreement with Rusty Egan about programming sequencers. Their input on this album is limited to composing credits on 'Only the Good' and a 'Special thanks to David Formula and Billy Currie' on the back cover.'

Vladimir gave me this info: "Can You Hear Me?" appeared as a "Razormaid remix" (time 5.47) in 1984 on a double 12" "Razormaid Chapter Four: Pressing The Vinyl" (Razormaid Records, RM 004). It was one of the first releases from Razormaid team (Art Maharg & Joseph Watt).
