Michael & Miranda is the debut album by English post-punk/ new wave band the Passions, released on 18 April 1980 [2] by Fiction Records. [3]
The album was reissued on CD in November 2015 by Cherry Red Records and included three bonus tracks, first released in 1979 as non-album singles. [4] [5] The album was reviewed by Louder Than War where reviewer Ian Canty stated "Think you've heard the best sounds of 1980 Post Punk has to offer - if you haven't heard this think again". [6] Record Collector magazine reviewed the album stating "Sparse and jagged, topped with sometimes angry, sometimes hauntingly ethereal vocals, it was typically and satisfyingly clever post-punk". [7] Goldmine magazine in January 2016 recommended as Buy in their Quick Picks section. [8]
All tracks are written by The Passions, with "Needles and Pills" written by Dack Dyde [9]
