Are these the same Corvettes who accompanied Nikki on a few records? Anyway, forget the Barracudas - all their great singles are still available on CD. Got any AIL SYMUDIAD instead?
ReplyDeleteI think "Nikki & the Corvettes" were an all female band - this lot seem to have a different chromosome
ReplyDeleteIt's true that the Barracudas stuff is mostly available but I posted the "Summer Fun" single and Jeremy Gluck dropped by and sounded pleased with the posts and the reactions it got.
ReplyDeleteSummer Fun is my favourite too. The fake radio ad at the beginning really cracks me up as much now as it did when it first came out. Did they ever make a promo video for it?
ReplyDeleteis it on shattered records , if so then they are a Brighton band ( see punk brighton website for more details
ReplyDeleteno - it's on "Bitchen records" which was a Beckenham based label.
ReplyDeleteThere are names on the sleeve & label that lead me to believe the above were
Craig Major
John Fryer
which leaves Ken & Rick to be linked with the surnames Bayley & Dampier
The Brighton band have a different sound (more female vocal New wave - Think Toyah & you're not far off - I'm sure they wouldn't thank me for that comment)
