THE NAMES / Swimming + Singles / FBN 9 
The Names

Factory Benelux presents a limited clear vinyl edition of Swimming, the acclaimed album by Belgian new wave group The Names, originally issued in June 1982.

Between 1979 and 1982 The Names recorded a string of excellent records for Factory, Factory Benelux and Les Disques du Crepuscule, all helmed by legendary producer Martin Hannett. Recorded at Strawberry Studios in Manchester, Swimming is now regarded as a cold wave classic, combining strong songwriting from Michel Sordinia and poised, tasteful delivery by guitarist Marc Deprez and keyboards player Christophe Den Tandt.

Bonus tracks on Disc 2 include the singles Calcutta, Nightshift, The Astronaut and Spectators of Life, as well as the band's John Peel radio session from February 1982 - the first ever recorded by a Belgian band.

Limited edition (300 copies) in clear vinyl. The gatefold sleeve features original artwork and poster design by Benoit Hennebert, and photographs by Marc Portee.
