about

Fetish are three friends from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, UK.
They were active around 1983/4 and were Steve Cordery (Flash), Steve Chappell (Chap) and Nick Daker.
They performed their one and only gig at Wednesfield High school sixth form end of year party. This is the band photo that you see. Nick on the left, Chap in the middle and Flash on the right.
With the material they had, they chose four songs and went into MRS (Midland Recording Studios) in Walsall to record them. Each walking out with a compact cassette.
Then that was pretty much it for Fetish, normal adult life took over.
Sometime recently, realising it was nearly 40 years since the studio session Chap had a plan.
Rallying in the help of old friends Gail, who took the band photo, her husband Peter who is a graphic designer and Jason Kester who is an artist and recordist in his own right, Chap dusted off the old tape and took the best digital copy he could from it.
