The Dazzlers –Lovely Crash/Feeling In Your Heart –Charisma CB330 (1979 UK)
With an intro recalling Pezband’s Love Goes Underground, Lovely Crash is a rare occasion where the UK was on a par with the US in terms of delivering a true Power Pop gem. The song construction is not totally perfect as you have to wait a long time before they unleash the song’s glorious chorus, but Lovely Crash is The Dazzlers’ defining moment of pure pop bliss.
Their album is OK and worth seeking out, but this song works best in this format…singles rule!

This is the only Dazzlers record I've heard, should really make an effort to check out more. Great single! Sack the stylist though!
I've just discovered The Dazzlers on an old edition of Cheggers Plays Pop. The song,"Lovely Crash", is great. They should repeat the chorus one more time near the end of the record. I've looked at the official charts and it appears that "Lovely Crash" did not make the top 75. What a pity. At least though The Dazzlers had three minutes of pure power pop glory in front of an audience of millions! Something to tell the grandkids.
