Flesh for Lulu, Long Live The New Flesh, 1987 on Beggars Banquet / Capitol

Third full-length album from Brixton London post-punks Nick Marsh, James Mitchell, Rocco Barker, Derek “Del Boy” Greening, and Kevin Mills—and their first on Beggars Banquet/Capitol. (Capitol in the US, Beggars Banquet in the UK).

The lead single “I Go Crazy” was featured in the film Some Kind of Wonderful and became a minor hit.

This LP was followed by Plastic Fantastic which was their last album with this lineup.

Flesh for Lulu, Plastic Fantastic, 1989 on Capitol / Beggar’s Banquet

This was the fourth studio LP from Flesh for Lulu, and the second on Beggar’s Banquet (in the UK) and Capitol (in the US). “Decline and Fall” from this LP was a hit on the “modern rock tracks” charts.

It would also be their last studio LP. (Gigantic was later released under the Flesh for Lulu name but was really a different band).
