The Electrix



The Electrix
"Holland" (Electrix, 1979)


Scotland. Don't know a lot about it. Apparently one of them's a porn star (but then, considering the number of people on Friends Reunited who claim to be porn stars, this might not be strictly true...); certainly one of them's now a multi-book writing author wot specialises in Scottish kilts 'n' swords type Braveheartery. I'll tell you about the other two another time. Anyway, looks like this was the one-and-only record any of them managed - it was definitely the only Electrix record. All four tracks on this EP are pretty good in a DIY-punky kinda way, but this one's our favourite. 1000 copies were pressed but very very few of them had the hand-cut'n'glued picture sleeve, and most copies were junked vaguely recently in a fit of spring-cleaning and cupboard -clearing.
