Welcome to my first ever mp3 post.
I picked this up in Rochester, Kent in April 2009.
Not to be confused with the Swedish pop duo of the same name, this band seem to be from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and this 7" came out on Wag Records in 1980. All songs are written by Waghorn/Fowler and the photgraphy was by "Nobby" Skilton.
The band are:
Paul: Yamaha 12 String Guitar, Vocals
Kevin: Epiphone Electric Guitar, Backing Vocals
Steve: Ibanez Bass Guitar
Barry: Premier Drums
Side One:
Giving Up The Beer (2:21)
Little Girl (2:11)
Side Two:
Love Will Take Its Toll (2:14)
Hold Me Close (2:11)
Hard to describe this - sort of folky pop with an acoustic guitar, but it may appeal to Powerpop collectors. Have a listen and met me know what you think. There's nothing on the web about this, so can anyone supply any further information?
It's a lot better than the Swedish lot. Never seen this before, excellent first post. Was this a find in a charity shop?
ReplyDeleteYes, a charity shop on Rochester High Street. Plenty more obscurities to come soon. I'm thinking of Ebaying this one actually
ReplyDeleteI'm instantly turned off by the concept of an Ibanez bass. Luckily, my soundcard doesn't 'do' bass.
ReplyDeletei LOVE THE SWEDISH ONES, BUT I WANNA HAVE THE REST OF THE SONGS FROM THIS SINGLE. CAN YOU HELP ME? THISI IS ALEJANDRO FROM ARGENTINA. alekslerin_music@yahoo.com.ar
ReplyDeleteFucking hell, I've just found this post. I'm Wag, yep that one! This was the first piece of shit that I ever made. I only ever wanted to produce one record but 32 years later, I'm still playing.

ReplyDeleteEven more weirdly - I know Steve your drummer! I'm good mates with Geordie Ray too
