My girlfriend in 1986 went to Poland and other "Eastern Bloc" countries with her dance company. I gave her a bunch of cassettes of punk rock and heavy metal to trade for things. She came back with this FUCKING AWESOME album. Manufactured Romance, you should have been huge and "Long Distance Love" a number one smash!
Strewth, i have spent 25 years humming 'you smoked a Russian cigarette' , couldn't name the band or the album. So many drunken nights in london pubs with mates who didn't have a clue what the 'album with a green cover' was.....Now I've heard it for the first time since then......mucho gracias
This was an incredible band who, if they knew the right people, would have made it BIG in the 80s. Sadly their discography consists only of these two "green album" tracks, one lone 45 ("time of my life" in 82) and a posthumous CD of demos (sold to fans on their MySpace page).
A beautiful voice that stimulates the imagination. At the time, it seemed to me that a pretty girl was probably behind such a voice. Unfortunately, the spell was broken when I saw it on TH-cam. My whole idea so far has gone to hell.
In Hungary the legendary "green album" (as 'A zöld lemez' :))) ) was well-known and copied/spreaded by cassettes in late 80s/90s as well. Manufactured Romance and Cyanide are the best! :)
This "green record" (hardly anyone knew it was called "Backstage Pass" then ;) ) was substantial for development of the punk movement in Poland. Also for me - soon I started a punk band ;) Great songs!!!
W późnych latach dziewięćdziesiątych ta płyta była do wypożyczenia w bibliotece szczecińskiej która nazywała się Książnica Pomorska - pamiętam, że wypożyczałem ją i słuchałem sobie ze swojego gramofonu.

Do you know the lyrics to "You"? There's one line I'm not too sure of, but here's what I have: I love you You're not there and it's a shame You're not there and who's to blame? You change your address and you change your name I'm still in love with you I love you Love me, too 'Do Not Disturb' was the sign on your door You're not mine anymore __________ reason were wrongly ignored But to me they're reason enough One of them is I'm still in love with You!

I love you Love me, too I don't really understand it This is not the way we had planned it She walked in and I walked out Love's something to shout about One thing I can't live without is YOU!
Just amazing - thank you so much for posting, I've been trying to get these tracks for ages as the old tape I had them on has finally died. Any ideas where I can get both on CD or download?

Płyta mojej młodości w żeńskim liceum
Się działo!
Love them. Pure
I remember seeing Manufactured Romance supporting Adam and the Ants in about 1981 in Sheffield, brillliant.
We use to follow this band around . Whitton Punks.
This was an incredible band who, if they knew the right people, would have made it BIG in the 80s. Sadly their discography consists only of these two "green album" tracks, one lone 45 ("time of my life" in 82) and a posthumous CD of demos (sold to fans on their MySpace page).
I saw these at Acklam Hall,and Crass about a year earlier.
Well actually, it was Nina Spencer, who had the most loveliest Punk voice ever :-)) !!!
A beautiful voice that stimulates the imagination. At the time, it seemed to me that a pretty girl was probably behind such a voice. Unfortunately, the spell was broken when I saw it on TH-cam. My whole idea so far has gone to hell.
Wspomnień czar... Hehe. Oba kawałki poznałem dzięki legalnie wydającej pirackie kasety firmie. Było to jakoś na początku lat 90-tych. Fajne czasy...
Had this album in the early 80s and bought it again about 5 years ago love the whole album but these 2 are the best
Always remembering Nick Medlin . Rip .
His bass playing kix ass on "long distance love"...!

MANUFACTURED ROMANCE Long Distance Love
I saw your suitcase on the stairs
And your tickets to New York far along my …
You packed your job in yesterday
This time tomorrow you’ll be a thousand miles away
And I didn’t even know your name
And I never asked I guess
On account I’m to blame
Two floors below me
You didn’t know me
But from the distance you were mine
You got into the cab outside
You haven’t slept much
I can tell that you were tired
You smoked a Russian cigarette
Soon you’ll be waiting to get on board of that westbound jet
And I didn’t even...
I found a letter on my bed
I knew who it is from
Before it was read
It was addressed to “the girl upstairs"
It’s certain, the one who never ever seems to care
And I didn’t even know your name
And I never asked I guess
On account I’m to blame
Two floors above me
You could never love me
But from the distance you were mine
Do you know the lyrics to "You"? There's one line I'm not too sure of, but here's what I have:
I love you
You're not there and it's a shame
You're not there and who's to blame?
You change your address and you change your name
I'm still in love with you
I love you
Love me, too
'Do Not Disturb' was the sign on your door
You're not mine anymore
__________ reason were wrongly ignored
But to me they're reason enough
One of them is I'm still in love with
You! (I'm still in love with you)
Baby, baby it's YOU!
Baby, baby it's YOU!
I'm still in love with you
You! You!
I'm still in love with you
You! You!
I'm still in love with you
I still love you!
I love you
Love me, too
I don't really understand it
This is not the way we had planned it
She walked in and I walked out
Love's something to shout about
One thing I can't live without is YOU!
bought it back in 1987 :)
