4 Go Mad in Glossop


The Bodines - God Bless b/w Paradise
An early pre-1986 single from the Creation Records was the much vaunted debut from The Bodines complete with wrap-around sleeve in a clear plastic bag. This Glossop four piece were to fall victim to next big thing syndrome, and following their C86 contribution Therese (also a single) they were snapped up by Magnet, and from then on the end (and change of direction) was predictable.
These two tracks are both crackingly (sic) good jangle-pop much on the vein of early James or later The Wedding Present. I have the major label album Played somewhere, and will rip a copy sometime in the near future.

Ripped from a 7" vinyl single released on Creation Records (CRE 016) in 1985 to high quality lossless FLAC audio.
A. God Bless

  2. Played is a great lp and Therese always reminds me a bit of Orange Juice's Felicity
    Best song though was Heard it All, a jangle hymn of heartbreak
