The Great Leap Forward – Controlling The Edges Of Tone [12''] (1987, Ron Johnson Records)

 

The Great Leap Forward is a band formed by former Big Flame member Alan Brown, when his previous band split up in 1987. After several releases the project was put on hold in 1990, but revived in 2008 with subsequent album releases. The Great Leap Forward is essentially a solo project, although various musicians were added for live performances. The sound is more melodic and accessible than Brown's earlier band, but still with overtly political lyrics. After two EPs and a 12-inch single on Ron Johnson Records, that label's collapse led to a move to Communications Unique for debut album 'Don't Be Afraid Of Change'. James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers) included this debut EP in his top 10 favourites from the C86 era. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
