Description: Album Notes: The is the second release the 1980 synth-pop masterpiece My Girlfriend’s Dead by Ian North, former guitarist and songwriter with Junkshop Bubbleglamsters Milk N’ Cookies. Ian North was not only present at the birth of the New York punk scene - playing CBGB's shows with The New York Dolls, The Ramones and Talking Heads, among many others, with Milk N’ Cookies - but also played in London with Neo at the time of the English Punk explosion. Returning to New York in the late 70s - and heavily influenced by Kraftwerk - Ian decided to utilise the now affordable synth technology and recording equipment to record My Girlfriend’s Dead in his apartment in Brooklyn. On completion Ian was unable to get a deal in the UK, being told by various record companies that electronic music was just a passing fad. He released the album and it’s follow up EP Rape Of Orchids (also included on this release) in the US where the video for Only Lover's Left Alive, a track from Rape Of Orchids, was shown heavily on MTV and was featured on the first day of the station’s broadcast. At its time of the release of My Girlfriend’s Dead there were only a handful of other artists such as John Fox, OMD, The Human League and The Normal who were working in the same field of electronic music. This album is a pioneering synth-pop gem. Track List: 1. Remember My Name 2. The Naked City 3. Living With The Jet Set 4. We’re Not Lonely 5. Twenty Five Years 6. Model’s World 7.
