But Mazda was also a recording artist/performer in his own right with a couple items released on IRS... Mazda's first ventures into recorded music were with his band The Tours. The Tours never really had much chart success, but their two single releases in 1979 were trendsetters of the mod-revival that followed in the early 80s. Those two singles are in fact highly sought after collectibles amongst the modern day "modster" crowd, fetching sizable earnings on eBay and other used music markets. In 1981 Richard formed his next band Cosmetics who had a minor club hit with "Calligraphy" and "The Crack." They were also among the first bands to raise consciousness of South Africa's apartheid with their tune "Johannesburg." Cosmetics consisted of Richard Mazda, Pat Davey, Ebo Ross, and Steve Laurie. Laurie was "on loan" from Tom Robinson's band "Sector 27" for whom Cosmetics were opening on tour at that time. Shortly after the US release of the "Calligraphy/Crack EP" Miles Copeland made Richard Mazda an offer to be a producer. The highly entertaining full story can be read on Richard's website. He made a name for himself producing records for Wall Of Voodoo, The Fleshtones, and Suburban Lawns. This in turn led to production work beyond the realm of IRS, for bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party. in 1983 Richard Mazda produced his most personal project, his IRS album HANDS OF FATE. This solo LP comprised many of his Cosmetics tunes as well as new material. Though sales were lacklustre, he continued his duties as IRS's "inhouse" producer for several more years. He was also among several IRSers to host The Cutting Edge, IRS's Sunday night MTV staple. (Others included Squeeze's Jools Holland and Fleshtones' Peter Zaremba, who held the stint for the longest time of any .great for djs.....
