THE RECORD PLAYERS - 'Double C Side'


Aerco/Wreckord AERE-1104/WRECK-001

01 - MOR
02 - Don't Go Backwards
03 - Wrong Song
04 - Ignore Us

Philip G. Martin - vocals/guitar, Mark Addison - guitar/vocals, Martin Horn - bass/vocals, Gordon Larner - drums.

They don't hang wallpaper on walls in Margate, Kent, apparently they use it to print their record sleeves on. This was the first of three singles by The Record Players, all sounding different, but all great. The four tracks here are like a more focused Desperate Bicycles with added pop hooks. One of my favourite records.

Not listened to this in ages - definitely not "middle of the road"

I think every band on side one of the Business Unusual compilation was great.

Yeah, side two of 'Business Unusual' was always the more 'arty' side.
