An Overlooked Classic (Parking Meters Edition) (Never Reissued)

ZONES - UNDER INFLUENCE (1979)

 

Then after releasing the PVC. 2 single, Midge Ure left Slik and joined The Rich Kids. So, with the other members of P.V.C. 2, Willy Gardner stepped in Ure's shoes to form the Zones and released one single on Zoom Records before Arista bought the scottish label. Gardner, Russell Webb, Billy McIsaac and Kenny Hyslop recorded a few singles for their new label Arista and this album produced by Tim Friese/Greene. They didn't find success and then split. Webb & Hyslop joined the Skids within a year and Hyslop completed his tour of Scottish bands by joining Simple Minds. One of the unsung classics of the post/punk power pop boom, the Zones' debut album (released with 4 different artwork) arrived more or less out of nowhere. AMG
