CHERRY RED
Despite having never officially split, Kissing The Pink are fundamentally a New Wave enigma from a four-year 1980s period. This 5CD set mainly focuses on the Londoners’ first three albums from 1983-86, along with mixes and single edits. The package also contains an insightful booklet featuring a readable 2022 band interview.
Debut album Naked features Colin Thurston, fresh from producing Duran Duran’s first two albums. As its title suggests, Naked has a stripped down, ragged feel, and it works.
