Notes

Fiction first appeared in january 1979 with the release of 'Killing An Arab' by The Cure (FICS 1). Working from a storeroom in a worth London studio complex, the label's founder, Chris Parry, produced and marketed albums by The Associates, The Cure, The Passions and The Purple Hearts. In 1980, feeling exhausted, Parry released all but The Cure from their contracts. For the next nine years Fiction remained with a roster of one band, The Cure. By 1989 Parry wished to emphasise the contemporary nature of Fiction so Eat from London and Die Warzau from Chicago were signed. This is a taste of Fiction past and present.
