Fish's Head was the fifth album under the name Fischer-Z, and second album by the new re-vamped Fischer-Z after being revived in 1987, despite the departure of Denis Haines and Alan Morrison from the group. This album carries on in the same style as its predecessor, Reveal. Fish's Head included the evocative "Say No" single, with a politically charged black & white Nick Brandt promo clip which was banned by Watts’ own record label on the grounds of it potentially "endangering the lives of their employees worldwide".
