The Roll Ups - Low Dives For Highballs (Japanese)

UK import of obscure London band who released one spectacular power pop album that no one heard back in 1979 that sounded like it was recorded in 1975. Perfect post-glam power pop sounds that sound like classic, long-lost Pilot tracks, Badfinger circa their "Airwaves" period, some (good, not sappy) Bay City Rollers, 10cc, Klaatu and Radio Stars/Jet. It`s a major find for fans of this style of pop music! "These popsters from South London anonymously emerged in the midst of the mod revival, on a mod label no less. They go in a lot of different directions but are saved by spunky individuality that lets them build a niche of their own. Lea Hart (almost all the songwriting) sings like a cocky cockney crossed with a dollop of it`s true! Donald Fagen, and melds his guitar to Jeff Peters` in dual-axe moves Brian May didn`t have in mind when he wrote the book. Add an assortment of non-electronic keyboards, and you`ve got a swell pop recipe for songs ranging from a 10cc-ish look at adulterous "Blackmail" to shock-horror destruction as epic as any punk`s."-Trouser Press. Extremely Highly Recommended!!!
