Michael & Miranda is the debut album by English post-punk/new wave band the Passions, released on 18 April 1980[2] by Fiction Records.[3]
The album was reissued on CD in November 2015 by Cherry Red Records and included three bonus tracks, first released in 1979 as non-album singles.[4][5] The album was reviewed by Louder Than War where reviewer Ian Canty stated "Think you've heard the best sounds of 1980 Post Punk has to offer - if you haven't heard this think again".[6] Record Collector magazine reviewed the album stating "Sparse and jagged, topped with sometimes angry, sometimes hauntingly ethereal vocals, it was typically and satisfyingly clever post-punk".[7] Goldmine magazine in January 2016 recommended as Buy in their Quick Picks section.[8]
