"Musically as well as lyrically, there's a feeling of clowning, fooling and madness. The group do everything they can to torture meaning. The Associates rejoice, justly, in seeing what cannot be seen everyday."
THE ASSOCIATES photographed by Tom Sheehan, 1981.

The Associates album The Affectionate Punch is propped up against my stereo shelf, which is surrounded by books and bric-a-brac. The album artwork is of Alan Rankine and Billy Mackenzie in tank tops and shorts, Rankine in the foreground crouched in preparation o a sprint, Mackenzie further back and standing to the right. The black and white photo is by Bill Smith. The lettering is blue.
The Associates album Fourth Drawer Down is propped up against my stereo shelf, which is surrounded by books and bric-a-brac. The album photo by Antoine Giacomoni. Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine are in black clothes floating in a pool of blue water. The lettering is silver.
The Associates album Sulk is propped up against my stereo shelf which is surrounded by books and bric-a-brac. The album photo is by Peter Ashworth and is of Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine reclining on seats covered in reams of fabric lit in blue and green under a canopy of plant life.
