Suicide Alley is the debut stand alone single from the rock band Manic Street Preachers and was released in August of 1989. The single was recorded after original bassist Flicker had departed the band.
The cover was highly reminiscent of The Clash's first album, and was photographed and designed by Richey James Edwards. The title track also shares much influence from The Clash (particularly their song Tommy Gun) and other late-70's punk bands.
The single was re-released on coloured 7" vinyl some time around 2001; the source of these copies is unknown and they may be illegal bootleg copies. They do not carry the same value as the original 1989 release, which can fetch upwards of £300 at auction.
