W♥M233: S*M*A*S*H

I have long championed S*M*A*S*H in my days as a radio DJ in the early 90s, so I can’t begin to tell you how excited to speak with singer/songwriter Edward Borrie on W♥M Radio.
Note: All the questions were from memory/on the fly, so please excuse me if I got some information or some dates wrong.
Regrettably I am pretty sure I do not have all the singles/EPs, but I have a lot of them (see photograph at the bottom). S*M*A*S*H was not known at all at the time, and I only discover the band when my friend Melinda was KFSR’s music director at the time gave me a copy of Self Abused album for review. I would later obsessively track down any singles and EPs I could get my hands on. Remember, this was before the internet, so getting the right information was hard to come by.
Topics:
The beginning of S*M*A*S*H, circa 1984.
First single was Real Surreal 7″
US Tour in support of Self Abused (Hi-Rise Records) album.
Sub Pop Records released Barrabas/Turn On The Water 7″
Sleeper’s “Lady Love Your Countryside”, a nod to S*M*A*S*H’s “Lady Love Your C***” (which in turn, was a nod to Germaine Greer).
The rare Rest Of My Life single (released January 1996).
The second album Icon.
“I Want to Kill Somebody”, 20 years later.
The 2014 EP S*M*A*S*H: (Without Regret) – EP is on iTunes now for $3.99.
Note: All the questions were from memory/on the fly, so please excuse me if I got some information or some dates wrong.

Keep up with S*M*A*SH on Facebook. See also smash.weheartmusic.com.
Here is a photograph of some S*M*A*S*H singles and vinyl in my collection. I also just bought (Without Regret) via iTunes, so I can’t really show that off.
