GROOVIES -LP




























Jupiter records- 1981


This record was first brought to my attention by some guy at Low Down Kids a while back and I really can't thank him enough! The Groovies LP is what you wished all those Teens records would sound like.. and honestly if I had to choose who was the biggest PUNK out of these four kids I would have to choose all four of them. They did two other singles before disappearing completely but from what I can tell the same songs and recordings were used for the LP.

SILVER LOCKET

MACH BARON- "mach barons theme" 45






















polydor records- 1974


MACH BARONS THEME

The band playing the theme to this 1970's Japanese TV series remains unknown, but if there is a better example of Japanese glam rock and giant robots committed to 45 out there I haven't heard it. A truly great single that further reinforces my belief that some of the best glam and bubblegum records from the 1960's and 70's that I've ever heard came from go nowhere TV shows and movies.
