Age of Plastic The Buggles

Advantages: contains hard to find hit singles
Disadvantages: of its time

...beat boys in the jet age but not quite brand new world ,nevertheless it contained one of the finest pop songs ever written about a domestic appliance in " Video Killed the Radio Star ",this was 1979 and with MTV just around the corner . The album first appeared in January 1980 optimistic of maximising on the success of "Radio Star",the title track and opener "The Plastic Age" was released as a follow up ,not dissimilar in sound though less melodic ...
...was the dawning of the age of Plastic. This wasnt any better or worse than the standard electronic pop of 1980 though its song structures and quick to date content put me in mind of that recent Tomorrows World spoof "Take a Look" all earnest and focussed but sounding post modern before it had chance to put on its jet pack ,bur as a document to the inception of electronic pop its unbeatableand you will enjoy it as a time piece at least twice and ...

A String of Pseudo Pearls

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

...on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad’s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called “Guilty”. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges’ wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was wiped, as so many “Top of the Pops” episodes were prior ...
...that their compilation CD “A String of Pearls” had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood. The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious “album tracks” but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970s. The overall sound is of close harmonies and pseudo Phil ...

Brilliant!!!

Advantages: MOst creative thing I've heard in a long time!
Disadvantages: I wish there were more songs!

Brilliant!!! This whole concept is amazing! The Sex Presleys take some of Elvis' best songs, rearrange them, and play them as if the Sex Pistols would have played them. It's a bizarre and fantastic mix that rocks even harder than the Sex Pistols did... really! I've been grabbing for this cd over my "Never Mind the Bullocks" for the past few weeks. "Teddy Bear" takes "Anarchy in the UK" and makes it move and rock way harder than the Pistols ever did. ...
...with "Pretty Vacant" for what I think is the best song on the disc. It starts out with a huge sounding version of "Pretty Vacant" then launchers you into a wild Elvis ride that you have to listen to again and again. "Heartbreak Hotel" is layered over "God Save the Queen" and works so incredibly well that I wouldn't even believe that the two were separate songs and the Sex Presleys version was a weird cover if I wasn't familiar with the material. ...
