Knife Edge – Favourite Girl [7''] (1980, No Hessle Records)

 

Knife Edge formed in Leeds in 1976 and released one classic single in 1980. The band were not happy with the weak sound of the single as it did not represent their live power but the single sold well locally and got some radio airplay on local stations -as well as getting a few plays by John Peel. The single was released as a double A-Side -with the up-tempo "Say You Will" being backed with the more commercial "Favourite Girl". The single was released on the bands own No Hessle label. 

 

The only other recorded output of the band appears on the various artist LP called 'Rock On' which was released on the EMI label. This was an album that featured "Battle of the Band" winner Knife Edge which featured "Street Credibility" on it. Another unreleased track, "Fighting in the Chapel", which appears on the 'Bored Teenagers Volume 2' compilation LP/CD is taken from a 6-track tape that the band used to sell at gigs that had a sound quality that the whole band preferred.
