BACKGROUND TO THE SINGLE

The Manic Street Preachers came life in 1986 as Betty Blue with James, Nicky, Sean and rhythm guitarist Flicker with the name changed to Manic Street Preachers by the time they'd recorded their first single, Suicide Alley. All friends from an early age, it wasn't long before Richey Edwards, at first a peripheral member of the group, was absorbed into the line-up. The single was funded by the band pooling their Giro's to record the 2 tracks at Southbank Studios in their hometown of Blackwood, South Wales. Only 300 copies were pressed split between 200 or so with blue picture sleeves and the rest with either Richey handmade sleeve or no sleeve at all. The response to this single which was sent out to gig promoters and journalists, was so great they were offered a deal
with Damaged Goods to release the New Art Riot EP. The rest is history...
