After Penetration, Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls were formed. 'Searching for Heaven' a 7" and 10" three track EP was their third single (this posting is from the 10").Released on Illusive records in 1981, 'Searching For Heaven' is the standout track of the three, it is definitely more commercial than the Penetration material, however her distinctive vocals still shine through. Like her later works 'Animal Crazy' is not for me, and could nearly be played at a disco. The last track 'The Visitor is better but still quite commercial. See what you think and leave a comment.'
Band: Pauline Murray & The Invisible Girls
Label: Illusive Records

Thanks for this one Gary!
Being 16 back then, having not that much money to spend and the fact that this record was very hard to find over here in Belgium, I'm delighted get this little gem at last!

hey Longy i was beginning to wonder where you were
Hi Peter, thanks for your comment, i know what it was like trying to find money at that age, I sold my entire collection of bowie, mott the hoople, trex, roxy music, etc. so i could buy most of these records I have posted. I was also a little naive as I also thought all that music was crap and punk was the only thing that counted.
I think I've managed to replace nearly everyone now, so it all turned out in the end.
Hi Adrian, thanks for your very kind comment as a fellow blogger you know how much those comments mean.
Yes please I (and others) would love the Tanz Der Youth session. are you going to post it on your blog?
I've not tried any of the music on your blog, but I have to say I like the look of Nemhain. check it out guys.

Apols guys, my links down again ("complaints have been received . . . "), it'll be next week before I can sort.
Cheers Gary. Have always loved Pauline Murray's music since the days of Penetration. I was in a band that supported her at a gig at what was then called The Polytechnic of Central London many years ago, it wasn't The Storm, but Robert Blamire was playing bass I seem to recall. Top blog, best I have found for punk/new wave. Keep up the good work.
Cheers.
