Hailing from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, Vision were the brainchild of keyboard player Andy Beaumont of B-Movie. In 1982 Paul Statham temporarily joined Vision as guitarist at the bequest of vocalist Russell Bonnell, who was a friend of his from Nottingham.
Paul appears on their debut single "Lucifer's Friend" which came out on the Sheffield based MVM label. It was a cult classic in clubs across Europe and soon established Vision as one to watch. However before long Paul headed back to the B-Movie ranks whilst Vision carried on with an ever-changing cast of musicians. They released numerous singles on the PRT imprint during the mid - eighties but disappeared forever at the end of that decade.
In fact they even managed to out do B-Movie by failing to release an album at all during their career! Despite plenty of research we can find little mention of Vision on the internet or elsewhere - a shame really as they did have their moments. Pop over to the Soundtracks Section to hear a previously unreleased Vision demo track called "Picture Portrait" from around 1981 that was found languishing on an old cassette!
