Notes:
-In 1986/7 the band shot 2 videos for the tracks ‘Agressors‘ and ‘Twist Of The Blade‘. They were told that the videos would be put on a VHS tape with similar videos of other bands to be used as promo in order to get them gigs. This never happened and the company was later exposed on the BBC program ‘That’s Life’ as being a scam!
-Amethyst played their final gig in December 1989 at the Boars Head pub in their home town of Stockport.
