THE DRONES- CAN'T SEE b/w FOOLED TODAY

Bellaphon -1980

CAN'T SEE

FOOLED TODAY

This was the last single by the Drones before they called it a day.The A side Cant See is the definite winner of the two so I'm not gonna bother with the flip. The German sleeve pictured above features slightly altered artwork.blah blah blah.. What I really really want to know is if anyone has MP3's of the ROCKSLIDE 45. Pre Drones BCR type group who's only single (recorded by Phil Hampson, the engineer behind the legendary Buzzcocks debut Spiral Scratch) has so far eluded me and that other guy who posts on here sometimes. Can someone give me the goods on this one? I need to hear it!

THE GOOSES Just a Tailor b/w Is It New?

Thanks to Collin for this review, such a great single!!

(no label, 1977)

JUST A TAILOR

IS IT NEW?

Ken Barnes and Greg Shaw once joked about Cleveland becoming the next Liverpool in an old BOMP! feature; apparently the Gooses thought they were for real. Issued in 1977 minus a sleeve and without so much as a label name, the Gooses’ lone vinyl offering keeps with Cleveland’s 70s reputation as a safe harbor for trends past their sell-by date. The style in question here: scrappy, post-glitter Kinks pop. Both sides of the Gooses’ single bop along pleasingly, not unlike a less-dedicated Leopards, still obviously flying the flag for Davies-dom, yet not aping every vocal or instrumental nuance. What became of them after this 45 is anyone’s guess. Maybe they emigrated to Australia or maybe they all joined the Michael Stanley Band. Or maybe they just flew south for the winter. Gooses - who are you?
