Peter Coyle - Lambs To The Slaughter (a.k.a. Selfish, 1985)

In Peter Coyle’s words:
“At the end of The Lotus Eaters the pressure had taken its toll. The very thing I worked hard to avoid had happened. The idea of building something up to just fall down felt like such a waste. I was very demoralised and down. I was totally devastated and in no state for anything. If it wasnt for Pete Davies I would have probably stayed in that state. Pete Davies was the manager for The Lotus Eaters. I didnt really feel able to be involved in planet earth never mind the music business.In 1985 after The Lotus Eaters I started working with David Hughes who later formed a band with Thomas Lang. We recorded a whole new album of songs called First Days and started gigging. But it kind of fell apart after a year or so. This was my first music that was released under my name. I released an EP called Selfish. Unfortunately the record was banned by most of the shops because there was a pencil drawing of a woman masturbating on the cover. Maybe if the drawing was of a woman killing or being violent there would have probably been no problem. Anyway I wrote Yours The Spirit That Soared with Gerald Quinn. I was finding new ways of writing songs. I was becoming more confident writing music as well as the words.”(http://www.petercoyle.com/bio.html )
