Big Hard Excellent Fish - Imperfect List

In 1989 dancer Michael Clark approached Josie Jones and Jake Walters of Big Hard Excellent Fish to write a piece of music for his forthcoming work with the Phoenix Dance Company. Josie Jones, formerly of Pete Wylie’s Mighty Wah! asked Pete to work with them on this and the ‘Imperfect List’ was born: a sober, chilling – and very heartfelt cry and denouncement of Britain’s then-ill’s. In 2004 Morrissey used the track to open his show on his world tour and featured it on the successive DVD “Who Put the M in Manchester”.
