Pre-Fab Hearts by The Reels was a single for Polygram in 1979 and it was the follow up to their debut single. So
Quasimodo's Dream was 2 years after that and their 2nd LP, with
Beautifull being the 3rd. Right!

Alan Lamb was the experimental telephone wires guy and had this record
Primal Image. There might be another one but I don't have that.
***Wasn't there a cricketer called Alan Lamb in the 80s?
****Thought I'd mention
Ariel Pink again just to say that perhaps
Mature Themes is better than
Before Today, just maybe.
*****Probably the last issue of
Smash Hits I ever bought was this one with
Michael Hutchence on the cover and it was a special on the filming of
Dogs In Space. Anyway I remember there was a little article on the little bands scene. Then thought 'what there's more people like
The Primitive Calculators? That's fucking mental!!' Suffice to say first time I ever heard of
Too Fat To Fit Through The Door and
Thrush & The Cunts. The later turning up in the movie singing diseases. This was in Smash Hits. I wish I still had that copy, I remember holding onto it for a while. It didn't end up in the incinerator with the rest of The Countdowns & Smash Hits. Although some articles were removed before their fiery death only to die somewhere else later on.
******How about incinerators and that we used to just burn everything!
******* "a rats toss bag" was a Malcolm Blight tongue.
