Various - " East Of Croydon " - (Nothing Shaking Records, 1981)


Croydon, the home of Johnny Moped, but also to this clutch of extremely interesting post punk/DIY groups from 1981. This definately is one of the very best compilations on offer here.
Highly recommended. I even like the Normil Hawaiians track!

1 Janet Armstrong Inadequate
2 Heartbeats, The Funny Anymore
3 Flips, The Schitzo
4 Big Combo, The 21 Girls
5 Local Heroes SW9 Another Modern Romance

8 Calling Hearts In the Jungle
9 Kan Kan Phone Call
10 Sir James The Selection
11 Spöön Fazer Fly on The wall

Your readers/listeners may be interested to know that Greenfield Leisure released 2 other EP's, and demo'd a third EP that remains unreleased...I never like this compilation track, and much preferred our other material. John Peel rather liked "Too Fat To Frug" I recall.

Well, hello mr GreenField Leisure.I do remember John Peel playing some of your tracks,though alas the title escapes me(i'll see if i can locate a tape of this show). But if you have a tape of your unreleased e.p. ,one would be happy to unleash it upon a disbelieving world on this very blog.(it works,ask Jackdaw with Crowbar,who sent me their new stuff to promote....see blog).
Cheers.

John Peel played L'Orange twice and Too Fat To Frug once. He mentioned that Frug was a dance as is the Swim, which is also in the lyric.
