B/w - Underground
Great double A sider from Leamington Spa wonder boy Phil Canning backed by the members of Cheeky (who released a lone 45 also on woodbine street records - I do have this 45, if anyone wants to hear it in it's entirety just leave a comment)
The band on the record were
Phil Canning (voc)
Nick Dee (lead guitar)
Martin Hainsworth (rhythm guitar)
Chris Southorn (bass , backing voc on underground)
Mark Slippitts (drums)
This 45 has been blogged before so for more info go here & here

Great stuff, so is the Cheeky 45. Well, at least "Don't mess around" is good, never heard the other side. Post it buddy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cracker. Solid. For me, wins over the Cheeky. How's everyone else vote?
ReplyDeleteI'd side with Cheeky, perhaps only cos I don't have the Phil Canning record (but I'm working on the that, slowly). Interestingly, Cheeky guitarist Martin prefers the B-side of their record over "Don't Mess Around".
ReplyDeleteRemember this from Steve's Post and always liked it. Good to hear the b-side.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that "Sellout" has shades of Pinpoints "Richmond"? Or was it the other way round? as I can't be arsed to dig out my copy to see which came first.
I'm up for posting Cheeky as well
according to "45 revs" Pinpoint released "Richmond" a month before this (so they were pretty much recorded at the same time)
ReplyDeleteCheeky's "Don't mess around" reminds me of "Heavy metal kid" by The Coloured Balls. Just saying.
ReplyDeletepwrpop78 - nice call - the guitar riff is certainly similar
