WASTED YOUTH – MEMORIALIZE

Wasted Youth were an East London decadent/bohemian band based around legendary venue the Bridge House. Their debut single ‘Jealousy’, released in ’79 and sounding like an outake from Lou Reed’s ‘Transformer’, got regular national airplay. They toured with the Only Ones, whose Peter Perrett produced and featured on the next 7″ “I’ll Remember You’. Martin Hannett produced the next, Rebecca’s Room, and they toured with Classic Nouveau and with the help of their album ‘Wild & Wandering’ established themselves as a live touring band throughout the UK and Europe. After they split in 1982, guitarist Rocco went on to form Flesh For Lulu. Plus 16-page booklet with notes about each release by Terry Murphy.
