''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".
