* Our thanks for this one go to the original photographers at Expelaires
Before he met Andrew Eldritch and before the two of them decided
to form The Sisters of Mercy (in order to have their songs played on the radio)
Gary Marx was the singer and lyricist of the Leeds-based band Naked Voices.
The Naked Voices played a few gigs during the later 1970ies.
As the snippets of the announcement on the right suggest, one of these gigs took place
at Brannigan's Fan Club XMas Party (F-Club) on 20 December 1979, where they shared
the stage with other local acts such as the Expelaires, the Abrasive Wheels
and a few more.
Naked Voices (Demo Tape)
In June 1979, a small number of demo-tapes
were produced, featuring four tracks recorded
at Ric Rac Studio in Leeds .
For their cover art, Naked Voices chose some b/w copy of the oil-tempera-pastel on cardboard version of 1893
of the famous painting The Scream by Norwegian Expressionist Edward Munch. A fact, which is especially
remarkable as Munch created four paintings and pastel drawings plus a variety of lithographies of The Scream.
That rings a bell of The Sisters of Mercy's second single Body Electric, where a painting was chosen for the cover
art, which also formed part of a series done by the artist.
However, decades later two of these cassettes would surface in online auctions,
accompanied by some blue A4 paper sheets with the complete lyrics, see the pictures down below ...
It is not known, though, whether these lyrics were attached to the original demo cassettes as well.
