tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267216422024-03-19T12:05:11.530+00:00PUREPOPReviews 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.

The points of reference are that <b>Barry Rolfe</b> released a different version of<b> Boadicea</b> on the B side of his <b>Beam Me Up Aboard Mr. Spock</b> single. </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">The producer is one<b> Bob Bloomfield</b> who officiated across both releases.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">I believe that <b>Khristian is in fact Barry Rolfe</b>. The Khristian Young version is much more cutting, but somebody forgot about the bottom end. It probably has the tinniest sound you will ever find, so it’s up to you to play with the equaliser! </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Khristian’s version also has an extra snotty, sneering Punk delivery compared to the Barry version. I have added the Barry version to the video for comparison. The B side <b>Sayonara</b> is an earlier version of <b>Molly Molly</b> (B side of Look The Business). It has a wider sound with proper EQ, it’s a real driving slab chugging Glam. The backing is provided by <b>Britania</b> (here spelt as Brittannia) who released the Glamster <b>Right Down The Line</b> on EMI. All releases have the same publisher (Golden City Music) involved.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">So there you go – is the case convincing that this is <b>Barry Rolfe</b>? He was good at playing ruses as he was also known as <b>Nicky Rolfe </b>on the 2 Bell releases.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">Hear full versions of both Boadiceas and the B side Sayonora (in that order)</span></b></p><p><br /></p>

The performance on <b>You Lose, I win </b>exudes a real sense of doom and despair. The instrumentation is dramatic and the backing vocals sound like an open invitation to suicide with the vocalists appear ing to have already taken quite a few Mogadons to ease into the ride.

Starlust – Lost N Found – Reminder Records REM 20 (US 2023) </span></b><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">Finally a release that tells the tale of the Steve Starlust saga with tracks recorded between 77 and 1980. After so many years was it worth the wait? </span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">Read on… </span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">The first side is a revelation as it features performances that remained unreleased until now .The chugging <b>Sad Anita </b>that opens the set can be considered a supremely melodic<b> Cars</b> number with a sprinkling of <b>Velvet Underground</b> New York sleaze. <b>Tightrope Line </b>continues in a similar vein with some great guitar interjections. The energy levels are then upped for <b>Evil Woman</b> which is fine riff rock comfortably poised within its <b>Tuff Darts</b>, <b>Demons </b>or <b>Brats</b> setting. <b>I’m Going Home</b> again fits perfectly with a near <b>Heartbreakers</b> vibe. <b>You Are The Only</b> breaks the pace and is a calmer spot which jangles and swoons to the senses. This proves to be a short respite before the wild and invigorating <b>No Time For Love</b> concludes this near perfect side. </span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">If these tracks had been released at the time its repercussions would have been felt far and wide</span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">Side 2 culls the four tracks released between 77 and 1980 as by <b>Starlust </b>and <b>The Grapplers</b>. All 4 of these tracks have increasingly been recognised by collectors and hip groovers as bona fide winners. I therefore refer you back to my initial reviews of these 2 platters. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://purepop1uk.blogspot.com/2019/02/starlust-girly-books-magazines-obscure.html">http://purepop1uk.blogspot.com/2019/02/starlust-girly-books-magazines-obscure.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://purepop1uk.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-grapplers-tonites-nite-who-are-they.html">https://purepop1uk.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-grapplers-tonites-nite-who-are-they.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;">As well as these 4 performances you will find another unreleased tune <b>Just For One Night</b> which feels a bit more intricate with more overt AOR leanings but still firmly positioned on the rougher edge of that spectrum</span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #ffa400;"> I am really glad that my initial review of The Starlust single led to Steve getting in touch with me with the next obvious step of introducing Steve to Jeremy @ Reminder which was the natural home for getting this stuff finally released. The package is also great with the sadly now bearded <b>Collin Makamson </b>writing the erudite liner notes. </span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: red;"> Before buying the vinyl you can check out all the songs on the album here</span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="157" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MzCI6IS8fTE?si=Mv8p3stqnOmEb3X5" title="YouTube video player" width="280"></iframe>

The recordings are basic but of high quality, rough with just the right amount of ready </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">The opening trio of <b>Ride to Live</b>, <b>Greasepaint Widow</b> and <b>Derailed Ladies </b>(what a great title!) set the scene of much of what is to come. Again, as demonstrated on the acetate singer Barry has an inimitable garble-warble which is quite remarkable in its uniqueness and character. </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">His vocal delivery is in perfect fit with the heavy powerful Thudding that underlines these gems. <b>Land of The Foxes </b>has a Love It To Death Alice Cooper feel to it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Side 2 is more of a mixed bag with a saxophone which tarnished the acetate version of Ride to Live, making further appearances. I have always had an aversion to men sticking things in their mouths and blowing on them, although I am partial to a bit of harp – go figure! There are still gems on the 2nd side including <b>Rock n’ Roll Star </b>which somehow reminds me of <b>Mogan Davis and His Winos</b>! The 2nd side also includes several alternative versions of some of the best tunes from side one, however often derailed by the sax</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">If some of these songs had come out at the time, people would be clamouring about them in the same way as <b>Seompi</b>, <b>Supachief</b> or <b>Purple Sun</b>. If this album had been released privately back then it would certainly be commanding four figure sums nowadays.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">All in all it’s still an essential release and full marks to Splattered records for releasing this, however for some reason there are no liner notes or any information on the band line ups or recording dates.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">From the online interviews found here </span><a href="https://www.primitivemansoundz.com/interviews/the-legend-of-cold-touch-interview?fbclid=IwAR1ZNj8nUlaeDKOB1WXmM_nb-YNYrYDo4ZoPSdy7bGyp9YcsjjTndqLhxlU">.primitivemansoundz - Cold Touch</a> <span style="color: #ffa400;">it seems these sessions either took place in 74 or 75. </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">There are still a few copies left here</span> <a href="https://www.splatteredrecords.com/">https://www.splatteredrecords.com/</a></p><p><br /></p>

Utrecht is half way between Den Bosch and the airport, so made a stop over for old time sake</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">In truth I had rumours that there would be some records as part of the general collector fair. I was even told that one dealer had 100.000 record on show</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Well that was true on both counts. One area of the fair was taken over by a gated area where there were at least 100K records. However the whole approach was more like a supermarket/ prison, the staff all wore the same branded tops and what about the records? Well...</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsoECgUnip-TlXk8dpi5tPOjzIJRmQDjwTCI-U-YrM3sfXQ-RooUHt4ePhiSwdLphNtFHwTrneUkrPgbLs-GoiXLQ0sjHxo38Q3yqUZU-MWod3W1Y9DI6Xa6L_iz6Os3ydd5gazraF9fSyz0CW5XKK58QOP2VgaIIerzTi3UzqHTSAIENoA/s4032/gated.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsoECgUnip-TlXk8dpi5tPOjzIJRmQDjwTCI-U-YrM3sfXQ-RooUHt4ePhiSwdLphNtFHwTrneUkrPgbLs-GoiXLQ0sjHxo38Q3yqUZU-MWod3W1Y9DI6Xa6L_iz6Os3ydd5gazraF9fSyz0CW5XKK58QOP2VgaIIerzTi3UzqHTSAIENoA/s320/gated.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">I spent about 20 minutes going through the alphabetised singles, went from W to S and found ZILCH</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">It was mainly 80s stuff, totally over-priced and crap that should be destined to landfill</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Leaving the area in disgust, I then stumbled upon 3-4 dealers scattered around the main hall and found some nice stuff</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Of particular note is <b>The Riats</b>. How did a Dutch band n 1967 end up recording 2 Velvet Underground tunes from the first album.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>
