Elvis Costello And The Attractions - (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea b/w You Belong To Me (1978) - single

Elvis Costello is an English singer-songwriter, who became associated with the first wave of the British new wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s.

 

"(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea" is a brilliant ska-inflected and funkiest song with a sick beat and that fabulous guitar riff driving another song about sexual obsession, is by some about everything from plastic surgery to prostitution, Andy Warhol to insanity.
From Elvis Costello's debut with crack backing band the Attractions from the excellent "This Year's Model" album, produced by fellow rocker Nick Lowe.

Wings - Maybe I´m Amazed (Live) b/w Soiled (Live) (1976) - single

Wings were an English rock band formed in 1971 by Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney, session drummer Denny Seiwell and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine.

 

"Maybe I'm Amazed" is a song written by Paul McCartney that was first released on his McCartney album on 17 April 1970. The studio version from the album has never been released as a single. McCartney dedicated the song to his wife, Linda, who had helped him get through the break-up of The Beatles. Later, McCartney's band Wings released a single of a live performance of the song from the band's 1976 tour of America, which became a top-ten hit in the United States. McCartney wrote the song in 1969, just before The Beatles' break-up. He credited his wife Linda with helping him get through the difficult time.
Although most of his debut solo album was recorded at his farm in Scotland, McCartney recorded "Maybe I'm Amazed" entirely in EMI's Number Two studio in Abbey Road in London, where he was mixing "Every Night". He played all the instruments: guitars, bass, piano, organ and drums. Although McCartney declined to release the song as a single in 1970, it nonetheless received a great deal of radio airplay worldwide, making it one of his most recognisable solo successes.

Martha And The Muffins - Echo Beach b/w Teddy The Dink (1980) - single

"Echo Beach" is a song recorded by the Canadian group Martha and the Muffins in 1979. It was released as a single from their album "Metro Music" in 1980 and won the Juno Award for Single of the Year. "Echo Beach", as mentioned in the song, does not refer to a real beach but is rather a symbolic notion of somewhere the narrator would rather be, somewhere 'far away in time'. In reality, the song was created while Gane was working checking wallpaper for printing faults. He found the work rather dull and his mind drifted to times he would like to live over again. One such time was an evening spent at Sunnyside Beach on the shoreline of Lake Ontario in Toronto in summer. In 1977, "Echo Beach" was a reference made to a faded time and place gone in the lyrics of the song "Hiroshima Mon Amour" by the band Ultravox. The map shown on the cover of one version of the single is of the Toronto Islands, while another is of Chesil Beach in Dorset, England.

Hello People - Book Of Love b/w How High The Moon (1975) - single

Late-'60s concept band Hello People was put together by New York producer Lew Futterman. Basing his concept on French mime films, Futterman assembled a group of Ohio musicians to make up the group, dressed in full face paint and performing wordless mime routines between their songs during their live sets. The first lineup of the band consisted of guitarist and singer W.S. Tongue, bassist Greg Geddes, keyboardist Larry Tasse, drummer Ronnie Blake, guitarist Bobby Sedita, and flute player Michael Sagarese. Taking on stage names like "Goodfellow" and "Much More," the band was born and recorded its debut, self-titled album in 1967. In 1968, Blake left the group, to be replaced by George Abruzzese. Shortly after the release of their first album, Tongue also left the band, tired of the life of performing and opting instead to become a full-time songwriter. He was replaced by singer/guitarist Pete Weston.
The band played out regularly without ever scoring a hit record, including performances on network television shows like the Smothers Brothers and Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Another lineup shift found N.D. Smart taking over as drummer around the same time the band relocated to Los Angeles in the early '70s. The band played shows with comedians such as George Carlin and Richard Pryor before signing on as part of Todd Rundgren's touring group for a time. Eventually, Weston and Sagarese left Hello People, and the quartet version of the band would go on to recording several albums before dissolving in the mid-'70s. "Book Of Love" b/w "How High The Moon" was taken from their sixth album "Bricks" in 1975.

The Blitzz - So Free b/w Degeneration (1978) - single

All members of the Blitzz could frequently be seen playing at jam sessions in the 70s Amstedam rock-scene before they decided to join forces. When Mick Ronson heard them play at a venue in the Amsterdam Red Light District he immediately fell for the compact sound of the band. This memorable evening led to the recording of "So Free" in a London recording studio soon afterwards. The first single from The Blitzz was released by EMI in September 1978. "So Free" went up the charts in several European countries in the months to follow. After three years of successful touring the band decided to split up to pursue personal goals.

(477) XTC - All You Pretty Girls b/w Washaway (1984)

XTC was a New Wave band from Swindon, England, active between 1977 and 2005.

XTC doing a sea chantey at some point in its career seemed more than perfectly logical not only did it fit in with the band's stylistic experiments, it called up a sense of Old England so often evocatively touched on elsewhere in the band's work. Thus "All You Pretty Girls" from their seventh album "The Big Express", with Andy Partridge starting everything off as a dramatic, windswept call complete with martial drums before turning into a swaggering, fun stompalong. Much of the song itself is comparatively restrained it's easy to hear Partridge singing the verses much as he would for many other songs and albums but it's the steady drum punch on the one hand and the kicky whistles and squeezebox on the other that gives the song its enjoyable atmosphere. As for the lyrical invocation asking the narrator's friends to bass on his best wishes to those women 'watching and waiting by the sea,' what better vision for a heterosexual sailor's heart?

(476) Aztec Camera - All I Need Is Everything b/w Jump (1984)

Aztec Camera were a Scottish New Wave band from the town of East Kilbride, near Glasgow, formed in 1980 and centred around teenage singer-songwriter Roddy Frame.

"Knife" (1984) is their second album and was produced by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

The infectious "All I Need Is Everything," benefits greatly from the Dire Straits leader's input. The introduction of keyboards (played by Knopfler's bandmate Guy Fletcher) colors the sound but doesn’t dominate the arrangement, which is rooted by a hypnotic high-register guitar figure by Malcolm Ross.

(473) The Lotus Eaters - You Don´t Need Someone New b/w Two Virgins Tender (1983)

Liverpool, England's the Lotus Eaters were mistakenly included in the New Romantic movement when they first appeared. However, although Peter Coyle (vocals), Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Mike Dempsey (bass), and Stephen Creese (drums) had the elegant attire and fashionable haircuts of New Romantic bands, their music was more understated and folksy than the synthesized Euro disco of Japan, Visage, and Duran Duran. The Lotus Eaters formed in 1982. Coyle was originally a member of the Jass Babies while Kelly played guitar for the Wild Swans with ex-Teardrop Explodes keyboardist Paul Simpson. Coyle and Kelly wanted to work together, but the Jass Babies had no need for a guitarist. Consequently, they began recording as the Lotus Eaters and were signed to Arista Records. In 1983, the Lotus Eaters released "You Don´t Need Someone New" taken from their 1984 debut album "No Sense Of Sin".

(469) Buckeye - Where Will Your Heart Take You b/w That Kind Of Man (1979)

With a name like Buckeye, one would assume these guys come from the state of Ohio - where everything is synonomous with the term 'buckeye', as 'hoosier' is with the state of Indiana. Don't think I've ever seen a band called Hoosier though, which leads us over the stateline perhaps? No it doesn't, Buckeye have their soft rock origins in Los Angeles, where a bunch of other bands playing a similar style like Couchois, Gulliver and Sneaker were making inroads as well. Some of Buckeye's members were quite prolific in their day. Price has played with many different bands, as had Katona, who has credits with Rare Earth, Redbone. Price and Katona even appeared together on the 1981 Fortress album 'Hands In The Till'. Thom Fowle and Price also did some work with Nigel Olsson and his album 'Dancin' Shoes' plus Paul Davis' 1977 album 'Singer Of Songs Teller Of Tales'.

Since this was 1979, Buckeye threaded the needle of many genres that were turning this particular year upside. One could say this lot were fairly insulated from what was happening in the musical capitals of the world; L.A seemed to be in it's own little bubble of sunshine, and upon hearing the songs here, you can imagine how bright and happy their world must've been. Whether it's the vocal harmony richness of 'Wonder Where (Will Your Heart Take You)' from their self-titled album in 1979.

(466) Colin Scot - Mandolin Man (1977)

Colin Scot was of origin a British folk and blues singer/guitarist. After wanderings of Amsterdam, Paris, California and Mallorca, he returned to England and worked the well-known English folkcircuit. He recorded there 3 albums. Colin was one of the legions of troubadours pounding the provincial folk circuit back in the 60s when the demarcation lines between folk and rock were well drawn.  His tactic of covering Buddy Holly songs in his live set caused frowns from folkie purists but probably stood him in good stead when it came to supporting Van der Graaf Generator or King Crimson in the bigger venues. The graveyard support slot was always a tough spot, and Scot was better at it than many of his more famous contemporaries.  Scot had the kind of juice that attracted various members of Genesis, Lindisfarne, Van der Graaf Generator, Yes, Rare Bird, and Robert Fripp from King Crimson to populate his first album recorded in 1971.Scot’s yearning and muscular voice (reminiscent at times of an early Elton John or Alan Hull) is gritty and full-blooded and is used to best effect on the elegiac.

The single "Mandolin Man" his first single on the RCA label was produced by Tim Griek (ex-producer of the dutch bands Focus and Brainbox).
