Faith Brothers Discography 1978-1987

 

Circumstances have recently focussed my mind on Faith Brothers, and the lack of a complete discography.

I've seen one or two attempts, but never the whole thing.  So last weekend I resolved to create such a list.

Here it is, in its entirety.  I say 'entirety', I've focussed on the singles, and not included either of the two studio albums (Eventide and A Human Sound), nor any of the BBC live/sessions releases which have appeared over the last few years.

Please feel free to correct any errors or omissions, and I'll update this.

I'll try to add artwork and release dates when I get chance.

General Points

I’ve not included the 2 album (Eventide and A Human Sound), as they've both been available on CD, and can still be purchased on digital download.

I’ve colour coded the rest of the tracks to indicate:

Green means it’s on the double CD reissue of Eventide, though that's unfortunately now deleted.

Amber means it’s not on that CD, but is available from Amazon on digital download.

Red means it’s never been officially available since the original vinyl release.

 

Unless there’s anything anyone can think of that I’ve missed…
