Chicken Rhythms

Their only album from the Factory era.
Northside, 1991

Cenzo Townsend engineered it at The Windings and Amazon studios in Liverpool and at Rockfield in Monmouth. The inner sleeve was drawn by Dean Dermody, then 16, and Central Station Design made the sleeves, a plum on the first single and an apple on the second. LTM paraphrases Q as calling it surprisingly durable, with mixed reviews overall. Reissues came from LTM in 2006, Cherry Red in 2014 and as a coloured LP for Record Store Day 2024.
