Click here for more & larger views

A batch of photo's of UK Decay has recently surfaced of the bands 1982
Hero's recording studio sessions.
Starting of with 5 classic shots previously unseen of the guys getting down
to their intensive preperation for the recording of the 'Rising from the Dread'
EP.
The shots were comissioned by the late Keith Warren, part owner of the
Luton studio and the actual photo's were taken were taken by 'Video-Head'.

'UK/DK' hired out Hero's for the purpose of demo-ing the forthcoming
'Dread EP' which was later recorded at Southern by John Loder.
Many will remember the late 'Geronimo Jeff' who engineered these
sessions and it is such a shame the whereabouts of the mastertapes
are not known or even worse lost for good!

According to Spon who has a vastly deteriated ancient cassette version
of 'Werewolf' the recording that Jeff engineered was superior to that of
the later released version.

The photo's have been placed in the 'Classic Gallery', there will be more
tp follow......
