Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Heavy Bonehead Crunchers, Powerpop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group Rock)...Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy... I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy.

A little shopping trip Part 2
Not one to be to be put off by a blown head gasket, I finally ventured out of the house and went on public transport all the way to Croydon to spend a couple of hours at Beanos. Now Beanos are closing down soon and all their singles are HALF Price!
The singles I picked up today included: Axe –People Come People Go (OK rocker, not as glammed out as their version of Monie Monie), The Electric Banana –Groovy Baby Bubblegum Music (er...groovy bubblegum!), The Bubblegum –Little Red Bucket (Vanda &Young!), Buster –Pasadena (Vanda &Young too!), Kristine Sparkle –Hokey Cokey (Much better B side –Baby I Love You), Third World War –Ascension Day (Brutal Prol. Rock in Pic. Sleeve), Brotherly Love –Public Enemy No.1 (Probably the same version as by Son Of A Gun), Fumble –Million Seller (Great Buddy Holly inspired pop gem. I forgot about this single -We used to open the set with the B side Get Up in my first band back in 75/76. Get Up was also part of the inspiration for The 'Cudas -1965 Again), Fumble –Rock’n’ Roll School, Bitch –Wildcat (not as good a song as Good Time Coming) and Wellington –Alright I’ll See You Tonight ( great with a really good Get It On cop) and a few misses not to be mentioned…Anyhow the average cost was under £3, so I recommend getting down to Beanos before Xmas. Expect reviews of some of these over the next few months...

So that's thousands of singles half price... Croydon, I'm coming!
Definitely worth it at those prices, if you do come you should also make a pilgrimage to Archive Records in Addlestone -all easy reach from the M25...
