[golfer]

[Frau_Blucher]

This guy's channeling Marc Almond. Maybe that's why it's so familiar. God, please someone figure it out!!!!

[Michele Cindy]

Also sounds like a VERY bad "the church".

Hi again,

This is "The Drowning Man" By The Hollow Men,
Same Band who did "White Train"

Never released on cd.

Was only released on a 12" in 1987 in the UK- and it is very rare.


Cheers,

Paul

What label was this record on?

[Darkwave]

Found this on the google groups from 7 years ago, but not much else. Anyone manage to track a copy down ?

Hollow Men The Drowning Man + 2 UK EP (Blind Eye Rec.) NM/NM $3

Is this the same Hollow Men who recorded _Cresta_? I remember them as second-tier Madchester dropouts. If it's the same band, they peaked early . . .

Hi:

You can find this on the 12" that Gazebo listed above, but it is a very rare record, or you can look for the lp that it was originally on titled "The Man who would be King". Unfortunately, it is even rarer than the 12", or you can e-mail me and I'l
