Eighties

1984 · via Killing Joke

Killing Joke’s 1984 recording of “Eighties” is the earliest release on file. Jaz Coleman, Paul Ferguson, Paul Raven and Geordie Walker of Killing Joke are credited as its writers. Also recorded by Cat Rapes Dog (released 1985), MJ Hibbett (released 2013) and Riotgun (released 2021), among 41 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.

From the counter

Coleman, Ferguson, Raven and Walker wrote it together, and Cat Rapes Dog had it on tape by 1985, barely a year after the band first cut it. Somebody named MJ Hibbett was still recording it in 2013, so the decade outlived itself.
