2010 expanded reissue of this classic '80s release. Icicle Works final album "Permanent Damage' was recorded for Epic/Sony. It contained the fantastic ?Motorcyle Rider?, and has long been out of print. This edition brings together all the B ? Sides for the first time in one package. When music fans look back with appreciation at the music made in the 1980's certain guitar rock bands immediately come to mind. Big Country, The Psychedelic Furs and Echo and The Bunnymen pop into your head and the popular hits they had back in the day. "In A Big Country", "Pretty In Pink", "Lips Like Sugar". But one band is unfairly regulated to the dustbins of history when that era is discussed and analyzed today. The Icicle Works began around 1980. Lead singer Ian McNabb first started playing music in a band called Young World. This outfit also included Chris Sharrock on drums. When this group quit, McNabb began working with City Lights and Sharrock joined the "mod-influenced" Cherry Boys. They later met up again and decided to start their own band. Adding ex-Eleanor bassist Chris Layhe, they became The Icicle Works and started gigging anywhere they could around Liverpool. Permanent Damage featuring the new line-up came out in 1990 and was released by major label Epic instead of long time partners Beggars Banquet. McNabb's songwriting was still sharp as a tack and although there were no major musical changes, it still seemed to be missing the fire of previous records. Standout tracks included "Baby Don't Burn" with its Byrds-like chords offering a nice counterpoint on this mid-tempo tracks. Two singles-"Motorcycle Rider" and "Melanie Still Hurts" would get a major push from the label, but the record failed to make a wide impact. Shortly afterwards, McNabb decided to lay The Icicle Works Mk II to rest and start on a solo career. The Icicle Works were finished.
