606.0. "unofficial Echo and the Bunnymen note" by CALDEC::NUCKLES (client / surfer applications specialist) Mon Jan 31 1994 18:19

    I need a discography for Echo and the Bunnymen.  I am trying to find
    the title of their first album.  Anyone know if it is out on CD?

    You might ask in GOES11::RADIO_RADIO, there is a note in there on the
    Bunnymen.

    And for a first album it showed a lot of promise...they never could
    convert their music to commercial acceptance...
    
    At that time I often compared them to the Psychedelic Furs since I
    thought it equally difficult for them to find commerical popularity. I
    was really surprised when the P-Furs pulled it off (to some degree).
    
    Reminiscing...

    yes...first track of side two (at least it was seconds before i
    wore the lp out many years ago...and it's on the cd)
    got to be my favourite bunnyman lp, that and u2's boy were never
    off my turntable in 1980/81, and i always thought then they'd both
    go onto greater things...but mac and the lads never quite achieved
    beyond cult status. after 'the cutter' and 'new years day' entered
    the uk top ten in the same week, u2 rocketed upwards and onwards
    while echo et al continued to turn out brilliant singles, upto
    the killing moon era, then circumstances took a turn for the worse
    with the death of the drummer and mac's solo career.
    
    one of my highlights was seeing them early 1983 in sheffield on the
    porcupine tour, front "row" (no seats)
