The Associates - 18 Carat Love Affair

In July of 1982, The Associates released their eleventh single, "18 Carat Love Affair". It was backed by "Love Hangover". The 12 inch version included the bonus track "Australia". None of the songs appeared on an album but all were added as bonus tracks to their third album, Sulk, when it was re-released on CD. The single reached the #21 spot on the U.K. singles chart. The Edinburgh, Scotland new wave band disbanded in 1990 after four albums but re-formed a few years later. The band affectively ended with the death of Billy MacKenzie in 1997.
