PUREPOP

Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Power Pop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group and Protest/Folk 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. Snippets are recorded from vinyl onto cassette!!! and into the PC...

Melody -Come Kids

Melody -Come Kids/Strawberry -Negram NG2260 (1977 NL)

Melody were from Amsterdam and strangely, this -their 2nd single, simply swaps the first single's A and B sides round and features them in newly recorded versions under new titles...

So, Come Kids becomes a much noiser version of Look In My Eyes And Love Me whereas Strawberry is an Electro -Pop revamp of Steppin' Stone! It seems that at some point the band renamed themselves Bad Melody and went all out PUNK. Too much Strawberry Space Yoghurt, me thinks...Check out the original posting for their first single: May 4th 2007

Kind of a 'Waikiki Man' as performed by Mr. Big? Their Continental shirt-tails really show through with the keyboards. A Hit!
