I met George and David last year from Chicago post-punk band Stations. Back in the early 80s they were recording an album with Martin Hannett (Joy Division, New Order, Buzzcocks, Magazine, OMD, Psychedelic Furs, Nico, U2), but it was never completed. It would be cool if they could master and release those tracks someday.
The sweaty knot of dancers seethes, the floorboards smoke and cinder. The band plays on, wearing faces that say, "Holy shit! And so on." But you will give them no reprieve. If anything, you only turn up the heat. Stimulation has to be tempered with suffering.
As the last verse and your own vibrations reach a crescendo, a gust of wind originating in your genitals whispers through the room like distant thunder. A storm is coming. The mothers, daughters, bridesmaids, and meteorologists all sense the change. They spit out their smiles and prepare their mouths to scream instead. Your moves can kill and probably do. You speed up the tempo and the band is compelled to keep up. You are grinding, popping, locking, fox-trot box-stepping, and crip-walking. Just everything sewn together flawlessly in a tapestry of modern fusion.
1979 was a great year for Gary Numan. He had just had a worldwide hit with Are Friends Electric as Tubeway Army and Replicas, the album it came off was a huge hit too. Gary had wanted Replicas released under his own name but his record label Beggars Banquet wanted it under the band name. With such a big hit, they finally gave in and let him record under his own name.
Riding on a big revival of Ska, The Specials combined Ska and Rocksteady with the attitudes of Punk and complete with a political stance and for several years from 1979 to 1981 were a huge successful band. They formed their own label 2 Tone, which has become a collectable label and released Madness first single The Prince.
After being a member of The Move, Roy Wood along with Jeff Lynne started Electric Light Orchestra but just after the first album, Roy fell out with their manager and left the band. He quickly formed Wizzard and released their debut and the big number 1 See My Baby Jive.
The Dickies are an American punk band from LA and formed in 1977. They were signed to A&M records in 1977 after the Sex Pistols were thrown off the label. A&M still wanted a punk band so they sent a rep to check the band out when they appeared on an American TV show. Mostly known for their cover versions played at 100mph they quickly made a name for themselves and had moderate success in the UK. Their first single Paranoid managed to get to number 45 in 1978 and clocked in at just over 2 minutes long. All their A&M releases barring one, was issued in a coloured vinyl, which helped the sales of their records
At the end of April 1979 the band released their cover of the Banana Splits theme and as usual the single came in coloured vinyl, yellow this time and total playing time was 1.51. To the surprise of everyone, it caught the record buying public and it got to number 7. The band managed one more time to get into the top 40 and that was September 1979 with their cover of Nights In White Satin which peaked at number 39. The band did really well here and were accepted by the punks of the UK, the band claimed that they sold a million records here, for three years they were constantly successful here, so they probably did sell that many!
Echo Beach was such a modern sounding single in early 1980, the band hailed from Canada and Echo Beach was written by band member Mark Gane. The band had come over to the UK to record their album Metro Music with Mike Howlett producing. Echo Beach deals with the daydreaming thought of wanting to be somewhere else or remembering a favourite time, whilst in real life you are doing a boring mundane job.
A controversial album amongst Kiss fans who have divided them over the years. The Elder was released on the 10th of November 1981 on Casablanca Records and was the bands ninth album. A single, A World Without Heroes came from the album and was a minor hit reaching 55 here in the UK and 56 in the States. The band have only played this single live once, apart from an unplugged session after fans begged the band to play it.
4 was released in July 1981 on Atlantic Records and slowly climbed to number 5 in the UK album charts, thanks to the success of Waiting For A Girl Like You. It was the bands breakthrough album in other countries too as success was always in America. The album sold over seven million copies in America. The album featured Thomas Dolby on keyboards and just after he recorded this album, he released his own solo work.
All the tracks on the album were recorded from the Leeds and Newcastle dates, with most of it from Newcastle as it had better sound. Despite the title of the album, Hammersmith Odeon was never played on this tour! Released in June 1981 the album hit number 1 and after it went gold, a limited edition of the album was pressed in gold vinyl. When the album came out, the band were in America supporting Ozzy Osbourne on his American tour. Forty years on, the thrill from listening to this album and the excitement is still there, a classic!
Adam And The Ants started 1981 with Ant Music entering the charts and getting to number 2, stopped by the re-release of Imagine by John Lennon. They were quickly becoming a massive band and Kings Of The Wild Frontier was re-released as a follow up and got to number 2. Even some of their old material was suddenly getting into the charts as demand rose.
In May 1981 Stand and Deliver went straight into the charts at number 1 and was on top for 5 weeks. The single had an amazing video with Adam as the dandy highwayman, he gets captured and then freed by his band in a promo that is part song and part Pantomime. This video seemed to sum the feel of 1981 with the songs, images, video and the looks, a perfect package to sell a record. The single sold over a million copies and the public were ready for the album and the follow up single!
This track dates back to when Midge Ure was the replacement guitarist for Thin Lizzy for the American shows in 1979. He later moved to keyboards for the band, but he would mess around with a tune during rehearsals and Phil liked the riff. When Phil was recording his album Solo In Soho, he asked Midge to help make it into a full song for his album. It is roughly based on the idea of the Japanese taking over the world with their technologies and equipment such as synths and walkmans.
The original Human League split at the end of 1980, the others became Heaven 17. Phil Oakey kept the name and recruited new members of the band including the girls who he had seen in a dancing together at a disco. He wanted the band to have a more pop friendly sound and brought in Martin Rushent who knew lot about synthesisers and programming of the equipment and sequencers. The first single was Sound Of The Crowd which was their first hit single getting to number 12 in the charts, follow up Love Action did better and got to number 3 in the summer of 1981. Virgin gave the band the go ahead to record an album, they had plenty of material to use, but Virgin wanted one more single so they released Open Your Heart which hit number 6 in October and Dare followed on the 16th of October 1981. It reached number 1 in November and went platinum. It has just sold under a million copies in the UK and has become a classic synthpop album!
Seeing they had a couple of hits, an album was produced and released in November 1971 which was mostly Chinn and Chapman songs, several covers and a couple of original band numbers. It has that bubblegum sound throughout it but the band written numbers had more of a hard sound to them, which would be the true sound of Sweet. The album never got into the charts and the band over the years were seen more as a singles band rather than an album band.
Over the years, the album master tapes were lost as Virgin had bought Olympic Studio, the studio where the band had recorded most of the album. They were clearing it out and threw away lots of old tapes from the studio including the tapes for this album. Over the years they have used tracks from different sessions to remaster the album, but since then most of the tapes have been recovered.
Released in September 1971 on Fly Records, Electric Warrior was to become the biggest selling album of 1971. It was a totally different band that recorded this album compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex folk sounding records of the late sixties. This was the first to feature a four piece band that would stay together to record the next couple of T Rex albums and also featured the distinctive vocals of Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman from The Turtles. Hailed as the start of Glam Rock, the album also featured the singles Get It On which got to number 1 here in the UK and Jeepster which got to number 2 but was released after Marc Bolan signed to EMI records and Fly never got his permission.
Get It On was the follow up single and featured on Electric Warrior, this was T Rex next number 1 and their only big top ten hit in America where it was re named Bang A Gong as there was another single over there called Get It On. Nobody is quite sure but the piano part was either played by Rick Wakeman or Blue Weaver, with some saying that they both played parts on the track, but the piano part is mixed quite low in the song. Elton John appeared with the band miming the piano part on Top Of The Pops. It got to number 1 in July 1971 and stayed there for four weeks becoming the bands biggest hit single!
The band on the album were Mick Ronson, Mick Woodmansey and Trevor Bolder (who would become The Spiders From Mars) and and also featured Rick Wakeman on piano. Hunky Dory was co produced by Ken Scott and David Bowie and was a critical success with many critics saying that this is the album were Bowie becomes Bowie. Here is a copy of the American sleeve as the US version never had titles on, the UK version did have the titles on the sleeve. It was the success of Ziggy Stardust that helped Hunky Dory finally get into the album charts and peak at number 3. Life On Mars? finally got a single release but not until June 1973 and peaked at number 3.
