This fantastic collection of one of the great Liverpool bands of the 80's contains the classic original versions plus the recently discovered lost USA remixes of 'The Revolutionary Spirit' and 'God Forbid' plus a BBC Session (Kid Jensen, John Peel and Janice Long), rare demos and live recordings most of which have never been on vinyl before. Formed in 1980 when singer Paul Simpson left The Teardrop Explodes, the band signed to Bill Drummond and David Balfe's Zoo Records. They released only one record, the single 'Revolutionary Spirit' the labels last ever release. Perfect in a way. 'Revolutionary Spirit' is an epic like a Thomas Wolfe novel, Citizen Kane or something. A song far too grand for a mere 7 inch single. For whatever reason, that incarnation of the Wild Swans did not release any other records. This added to the romantic appeal of the group. For we knew little about them, we knew they had crawled out of the same cultural bunker as the Teardrops and the Bunnymen. The had performed the perfect act of oneupmanship releasing a record of such magnificence and opulent splendour it made all the 'Rewards' and 'Rescues' seem ridiculous. But we knew little else, so this was fine. Few records really capture a moment in time, but this does. A time when music was a voyage of discovery and in a way the ignorance was part of the bliss, that mystery, it fed that desire and fulfilled the notion that you had discovered something special. Music was a lifestyle, a cultural choice, not the deposable commodity it has become today, it really meant something. Where did it all go wrong ## Images ![Incandescent - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51d2dAKcVvL.jpg) ![Incandescent - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/914948sFR+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Revolutionary Spirit *by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019* It all started when Teardrop Explodes keyboard player, Paul Simpson quit (after the recording of their first single), to form and lead The Wild Swans in early 1980. Their first single “The Revolutionary Spirit”, an epic masterpiece and a major Liverpool theme, that was produced by Echo & The Bunnymen's Pete De Freitas who also played the drums in it.This compilation is quite something special. It includes singles, live songs and demos of a band in the heights of its splendid juvenile ardor. The intensity and enthusiasm of the music is quite impregnated in the songs, specially the live tunes in witch the energetic singing of Paul Is just awesome. You will be impressed, I can assure that Incandescent is all that you will need for now.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Great First LP that Never Was *by H***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017* Contains everything you need from this seminal 80's band from Liverpool (except the recent "Coldest Winter in 100 Years," which is a return to the form of these early recordings). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/168375147-incandescent](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/168375147-incandescent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
