GIRLSVILLE
There we were, sitting round a kitchen table coming up with ideas and tunes for Girlsville. ‘Wild Man’ - wow! ‘Round Every Corner’ (written for us by Billy), ‘First Plane Home’, a Kinks cover always played in the live set, as was ‘Meet Jacqueline’ (apparently penned by Albert Hammond, odd!) Every track was a winner, I think. Then we went to conquer the world with our albums Have Love Will Travel, Bozstik Haze (not purple!), and Punk Girls plus numerous 7-inch crackers. The fun we had until Here Comes Cessation. Well so we thought….
HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL
Standing on Rochester Bridge, very chilly holding onto our uniform deerstalkers. ‘Louis Riel’ of course, not ‘Louie Louie’ was a great idea. ‘My Boyfriend’s Learning Karate’ was an ode to Tetsuya in Japan. Then there is The Trogg’s beautiful song ‘Baby Come Closer’ and ‘Baby Please’ written by Billy which could well be a Troggs song! Beautiful harmonies. ‘You Can’t Resist’, always on the live set, is the “shag song” and the very psychedelic ‘Gotta Get Inside That Boy’s Mind’ – dreamy!
BALLAD OF THE INSOLENT PUP
In this case Stanley the Terrier (left me a present as I remember). Photo location in beautiful Biddenden. There are some smashers on this one – ‘It’s Bad’ (Bongo) is terrifying! ‘When You Stop Loving Me’ (Kyra), again a staple in the live show, God she meant it! ‘Again and Again’, one of my fave Childish compositions, and a not bad rendition (if I say so myself) of the Pretty Things’ ‘You’ll Never Do It Baby’. A great record, so off you go… walkies!
PUNK GIRLS
What are we wearing on the cover? That aside, wow! ‘Ca Plane Pour Moi’ - fantastic! (well Kyra is Belgian). The marvellous ‘Teenage Kicks’ - well done Bongo! ‘Cara-Lin’ is a little masterpiece too. ‘Don’t Wanna Hold Your Hand’ - well, why not?! I think you can say I’ve enjoyed revisiting these gems, hope you do. X
