The group existed for a short period of time, burning brightly before burning out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single, ‘Event To Come’, was produced by Postcard Records’ Alan Horne and Malcolm Ross and released on Josef K manager Allan Campbell’s Rational label. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArticle 58 were the opening group on many bills in Scotland, including support slots circa 1981 with A Certain Ratio, Scars, Josef K, Delmontes, Bauhaus, Restricted Code, among others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosef K invited Article 58 to support them on some dates in England to promote their only album, ’The Only Fun In Town’, after which Article 58 recorded tracks for an as-yet unreleased album. One track, ‘Reflection’, did surface on a cassette\/ zine product (‘Irrational’) released by Rational Records. However the teenage tension and strain of all that accompanies being in a group proved too much and Article 58 split up at the end of 1981. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Event To Come’ was to be the only single released by Article 58. The B side, ‘Icon’, is a previously unreleased recording. Both tracks are presented in a brand new sleeve designed by The Creeping Bent Organisation for release on the Optic Nerve label. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist: \u003cbr\u003eside A \u003cbr\u003eEVENT TO COME \u003cbr\u003eside B \u003cbr\u003eICON\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Optic Nerve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41281545994396,"sku":"ON404","price":10.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/ON404.jpg?v=1638904056","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/article-58-event-to-come","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
