Busy day tomorrow, so lest I forget....
I have it on good authority that John Foxx's second solo LP
The Garden was released on
25th September, 1981.
A new, radical departure from Metamatic, it was a disappointment for some and a welcome return to a more organic sound for others.
Smash Hits writer and reviewer Ian Cranna had this to say:
The Garden spent six weeks in the UK Top 40 album chart peaking at no. 24.
What are your memories, pals?
Note: interestingly, subsequent solo albums
The Golden Section and
In Mysterious Ways were also released during the month of September but I don't have exact dates.
Anyone?
