Siouxsie And The Banshees - Join hands, Polydor POLD 5024

Join Hands is the second studio album by English post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was released on 7 September 1979, through record label Polydor. The opening track "Poppy Day" is based on John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields. The poem was written in 1915 after the lost of a friend during a battle in World War I. The poppy reproduced on the sleeve is a symbol of Remembrance Day.

The final track is a studio recording of "The Lord's Prayer", the song that they are famous for playing in their debut live performance at the 100 Club Punk Festival in September 1976. Join Hands was released on 7 September 1979. It reached No. 13 in the UK Albums Chart.

Guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris left the band shortly after the album's release.
