MI-SEX - GRAFFITI CRIMES - Vinyl record - HHR00696 VG
This record is from Mi-Sex the New Zealand new wave band originally active from 1978 to 1986, and led for much of its existence by Steve Gilpin as vocalist, Kevin Stanton as guitarist and songwriter, Murray Burns as keyboardist and songwriter, and Don Martin as bassist. The group's manager for much of its career was Bob Yates. Mi-Sex achieved two top 10 hit singles in 1979-80: Computer Games in October 1979 (No. 1 in Australia, No. 5 in New Zealand) and People in 1980 (No. 6 and No. 3, respectively). Their first two albums both reached the New Zealand top 10. They were known for their cutting edge production and dynamic live shows. Gilpin died in January 1992, two months after a serious car accident from which he never recovered. 
Graffiti Crimes was the band’s debut studio album released in July 1979. The album peaked at number six in New Zealand and number 16 in Australia. The album was certified gold in New Zealand. The album was re-released in January 1980 following the success of the single Computer Games, which peaked at number one in Austrealia in November 1979. Kevin Stanton said it was his hand holding the policeman's notebook on the cover of the album and his girlfriend posing by the wall.
