[kj] Killing Joke's 1979 song "You're Being Followed"

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Yes, there's a group of songs that fall into the "1st-ep" style that didn't make it onto vinyl:

Nuclear Boy
Malicious Boogie
Animal
You're Being Followed

If you add those to the 4 tracks on the first ep, they could have done an album... maybe with Pssyche as a taster for the new direction!

But the real "missing" KJ album is from 1984.

Eighties
New Day
All Play Rebel
New Culture
Blue Feather
Me Or You

I wonder what else they wrote then that never saw the light of day?

Shame. I really like how "You're Being Followed" sounds, here, in that live version. A simple, almost metal, riff. 
 
I can imagine a 4-song EP with "Are You Receiving?" "You're Being Followed," etc. being released late 1978 or early 1979. 
 
I think "You're Being Followed" actually shows a lot of promise. "You're being followed! / So be a joker!" as the lyrics say. Hey, I dig it.
