From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Join Hands is the second album released by Siouxsie & the Banshees. Polydor Records released it in the UK in September 1979. It was assembled quickly due to pressure from the success of The Scream. It is also the last album on which band members McKay and Morris appeared. Contained on the album is the studio recording of "The Lord's Prayer," the song that they are famous for playing in their debut live performance at the 100 Club Punk Festival in September of 1976. It is speculated that this track was included to fill space, as the album was produced so quickly that the band did not have enough time to complete more polished and new material. Join Hands was remastered as a single disc digipack in May 2006. The track "Placebo Effect" appears on The Thorn, an EP containing new performances of four tracks, with string arrangements.
