Got my vinyl singles boxes out for the first time in a while. Played a couple of my Flexipop magazine discs, including Madness, a version of My Girl. Marky, did you put that on one of your compilations?
I didn't because it's been officially released as a bonus track on the reissues.

It is a great version.

Gothy/darkwave by way of early Cocteau Twins or, even more, Xmal Deutschland. Nothing about them really stands out to me.

Thanks, I hadn’t realised that. I like the version and was pleasantly surprised that the Flexi disc still played fine. The other ones are bands like Haysi Fantayzee, Culture Club, Toyah, Blue Rondo A La Turk, Blancmange, definitely very 80s.

I used to have a bunch of those flexi discs from Flexipop magazine. I had the two Madness ones from Flexipop and the Patches one I bought at a fair. I remember liking the Toyah one at the time but I can't remember what was on it. Was it a version of Ieya.

Same era as Ieya, but it was Sphinx and For You. Played them both recently on Amazon Music and knew they rang a bell, then realised I actually had them already!

Cheap from Music Magpie and already had a lot of the tracks, but a great 3CD compilation.

Hello,

The Fleshtones - Do you swing? Great Bar Band. The Fleshtones have been putting out great garage rock for years. This is one of their better efforts in the studio. I need to see them live.



Odd trivia: I used to play for the Brooklyn Cosmos who were based in an Italian Social club based in Greenpoint.

Years and years since I've played this. Andy Partridge was one of the producers of the album and, yep, it doesn't sound far removed fro XTC.

I really like The Lillac Times stuff. Strange to think Stephen was an original member of Duran Duran.

Yeah, given respective career paths and styles, it was a match that made no sense.

Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I read online somewhere about a promo video for this, featuring the band as puppets in the studio, with puppets of Messrs Strummer and Jones in the control room.... please, PLEASE let this be true, and available to watch somewhere?!
