(1980)"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 pressurfrom 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 the100 Club Punk Festival in September of 1976."Join Hands" was remastered as a single disc digipack in May 2006. A version of the song "Placebo Effect" appears on "The Thorn", a 1984 EP containing new performances of four songs from the group's back catalogue, with string arrangements.LCD Soundsystem leaderJames Murphy has a special liking for that album. The first albums he bought were "Siouxsie and the Banshees Join Hands, The Fall Grotesque, and The Birthday Party Nick the Stripper, all in one day. And all three of those records are three of my favorite things I've ever heard."
