Cud - Showbiz

Formed in Leeds in 1986, Cud went on to forge one of the more interesting and indefinable sounds of the late '80's / early '90's Indie scene. Fusing a catchy Pop sensibility with danceable grooves and intelligent and often humorous lyrics, they soon became firm independent favorites and began releasing records on Leeds based Reception Records in 1987, very quickly catching the ear of John Peel and becoming a regular fixture of his broadcasts. This re-mastered version also includes a number of B-sides from the album's single releases, as well as some unreleased out-takes and demo versions, including material intended for their next album, which hasn't seen the light of day before now. Cherry Red. 2008.
