Axis - Wedding Bell (1982)

b/w and the truth

Ah - not doing too well on the info front here. Once again I know sweet f.a. about this great little mod/powerpop double sider (released may 1982 - thanks to James at worthless trash for that snippet) on the JSO records label (same as the Odds /cocks & lions/ the crack & 123)
If you like a bit of synth with your tunes then this could be something for you.
I tried finding some info on the net about this & kept coming up with "this record is not by the christian rock band Axis" - well give it a listen & you will see that they are correct

Bobby And The Girls Next Door - Now We Know It's Diana (1981)


b/w - Wedding dub
Well unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about this little obscurity - as you can see it's a promo (probably never got to a proper release stage). The label's got a beggars banquet/Andrew Heath credit (which a lot of 79 onward "beggars banquet label" records had - so is it one of their roster under a pseudonym? they were marketed through WEA). What ever it's a enjoyable if not throwaway romp from the "who's gonna marry Charlie" time - both sides can be downloaded below, not that I'm recommending the flip - sometimes dub versions are quite good. This one to my ears isn't!
