Altered Images will release their first album in almost four decades later this year.
The group’s last album ‘Bite’, featuring the Top 10 hit Don’t Talk to Me About Love, was released in 1983 – the year they separated – but they’re back with ‘Mascara Streakz’ on August 28.
“Yippee! It’s official I have recorded a new #AlteredImages album after 38 years with more than a little help from my fiends [sic],” tweeted frontwoman Clare Grogan last year. “As you can imagine I am super excited.”
The new album features a refreshed iteration of the band, including her husband, multi-instrumentalist and original Altered Images member Stephen Lironi, plus Bluebells singer Bobby Bluebell and Bernard Butler.
Production was delayed after Grogan came down with “a crazy flu thing,” but she finally finished recording in October.
‘Mascara Streakz’ is available to pre-order on CD (including signed editions), vinyl and cassette.
