Pre-Punk Vol. 8 - contents reviewed in brief.
Among the stranger tracks on vol. 8 such as "Mary Is Alone" by Dry Ice, "Enjoy Yourself" by Dragonfly and "I Need Her" by The Dominions is more accessible fare that musically savvy Mogsters might instantly relate to such as...
Bloc Party ("Helicopter"), Rolling Stones ("Who's Driving Your Plane"), Plimsouls ("A Million Miles Away"), Dave Clark Five ("I Need Love"), Jeff Beck Group ("Tallyman"), The Standells ("Try It"), Republica ("Ready To Go"), Electric Light Orchestra ("Lonesome Lullaby"), Robin Trower ("Gonna Be More Suspicious"), Guess Who ("You Know He Did"), Bachman-Turner Overdrive ("Give It Time"), Bobby Fuller Four ("King Of The Wheels").
Pre-Punk Vol. 8 starts off with "Intro '66" (1984) by the Zebra Stripes - a Paisley Underground band whose lead vocalist provides the perfect Prepunk preamble in her peculiar patois.
Check out "Intro '66" at the end of the video in the comment box below.
