SLEAZE-SLEAZE-

Reaching down in the bottom of the barrel of mysterious and obscure bands this one´s gotta to have a Place on the list. As Tim Smith later on would earn his fame under the name T.V Smith of the Adverts, this selfreleased album recorded during a two hour set in the studio for the reasonable sum of  £38,88 and only pressed into 50 copies, it is a true rarity! The release year is 1975…just Before the door would burst into punkrock.

The production is plain story but with a distinct sound of proto Punk/Glam/Hard rock. The impressive delivery with no overdubs and great vocals just fits the bill. The songs are strong in a timetypical manor. Nothing strong enough to rock the World but as a sideline in the Commercial ´70s this is really good. Influences of Iggy Pop and David Bowie is unintentional but very charming. This is a great record in that sense with no intention to reach for the hit lists. Impressive work!!

Whatabout the drummer, Dave Heath?? Well as this is pretty much a Demo deLuxe recordig, this fellow is running like a Volvo. Not exciting at all but safe, predictable and just plain “working class hero”. The striking abilities are avarage and the hit ratio together with the Dynamics is just like cheese and ham. Nothing spectacular but it works. If this drummer was a to be a weekday he would end up like a tuesday…:-)

This is a timepiece with strong personality and great songs “out of the mainstream”. There are good reissues for less Money and why not? Give your self a challenge for christmas and spin this album a few times on your turntable. It is Amazing how much more you will discover and especially with a few beers under your waistcoat..:-)
