touch: feature mist
|
- The audio-visual organisation Touch was initiated in 1981 by graphic designer
Jon Wozencroft along with Andrew McKenzie, Garry Mouat and
Panni Charrington.
- Their first publication, Feature Mist, published in December 1982 was the first in a series of six cassette magazines.
The 32 page A5 magazine featured stories by Psychic TV, Neville Brody and others, with illustrations by a host
of up-and-coming graphic designers and artists (including Malcolm Garrett), and a cover-cassette
of exclusive material from New Order, Tuxedomoon, Soliman Gamil and Simple Minds.
- The Simple Minds track was a previously unreleased instrumental version of
King Is White And In The Crowd. Unfortunately the music was interrupted several times
by snippets of a recording between Jim and Garry Mouat
conducted on an extremely windy Brighton seafront.
- This dodgy cassette recording is the only official source of this version whilst wily bootleggers
snapped it up as an outro for the All Kings Are White bootleg LP.
