The Vapors – New Clear Days

The Vapors are an English new wave band who were initially active between 1978 and 1981. The group were spotted by Bruce Foxton of the Jam who went on to manage them alongside John Weller (father of Paul Weller). They rose to prominence with the release of their debut album New Clear Days which features their best-known track and international hit single ‘Turning Japanese’. The songs on the album focus on prominent societal issues from the time including nuclear weapons, power stations and the generation gap. The album is now reissued on vinyl for the first time.
