the Shares - Alice (1980)

b/w - Rollerskater disco

Nice bit of Mod/powerpop from Berlin (I think their only release)

(most copies came with an info sheet - unfortunately mine is without - so I know sweet f/a about them)

The label "Berlin rock news" was funded/sponsored by the local council in cahoots with a different record company every year to aid the launch of local acts. The records having a press run of 1000 & being distributed by the band themselves at gigs etc.

and that is all I have

  1. Well, I thought that the a-side was a bit cheesy, but 'Rollerskater Disco' is a bona fide classic! Really love the German-Cockney accent. Such charm!
