NEW PLEASURES



Another DIY label from the late '70s.  New Pleasures belonged to Punk / New Wave band Another Pretty Face, from Scotland.  It released two singles, both of them in 1979.  The first was the band's own, 'The Boys Love Carrie' (Z-1; 5/79); the second was 'Mafia', by D.N.V. (Z-2; 9/79).  Another Pretty Face signed to Virgin, but they stayed with that company for a mere four months.  Later they joined Ensign, and changed their name to Funhouse.  Musical differences led to stalwart of the band Mike Scott leaving; he went on to form The Waterboys, who enjoyed considerable Chart success in the '80s and '90s.  Thanks to Anthony Dunsdon for the first scan, and Sam Mauger for the second.
