Brings you their next release on the
popular Picture Disc Series.
Released: FRIDAY 23rd FEBRUARY
There are
many bands from the mod revival that never released a 45 single. Beggar being
one of them, until now!
The band
hailing from Mountain Ash in South Wales should’ve been huge with the sound
they were producing, honest raw fast rhythm and blues with a hint of punk! Just
perfect to grace the 79 sound, this with the soulful vocals from lead singer
Bryn Gregory compliments the offering!
It would
have been all too easy to put out a single of the two tracks which featured on
the acclaimed live at the Bridge House LP but Beggar offer much more than that.
An
earlier album also released by 'Detour' show cased the band with tracks that
would blow you away, not only with the music but the lyrical content made the
band stand out as accomplished artists within our genre proving that they could
compete with the best the revival had to offer.
For those
of you who never saw them play live, this release will make you kick yourself
for not making the effort!
I love
Beggar and I hope you like the four tracks I’ve chosen for this brilliant
release. Nu form love / Have another drink / Modern man / Mindless doll.
I know
which are my favourites .. .. What’s yours?
Enjoy

Following on with
'Detour Records' very
popular Picture Disc series, here is the TWENTY SECOND installment in this 'The Classic '79 Mod Series'
(and TWENTY SEVENTH Picture disc in total over both series).
The true fans amongst
us will notice that the artwork is CORRECT this time as the original label 'No
Pap Records' added an 'S' to the bands name back in 1979 which the band were
really annoyed about! You will also notice that the artwork features an unpublished
photo of the original line-up who played on these four tracks. This rare photo
came from the ex manger 'Roger Allen's' archive. Two of these tracks are being
released on vinyl for the very
first time!
From the
pen of their ex manager...
Speedball
were Rob's band. Rob being Rob Beulo, a 19 year old
Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist. I first met Rob when we were both working for the
same boring insurance company in the City. He'd tell me about his band and
invited me along to see them back in his home town of Southend. That would of
been about February '79 and I was blown away! Rob was the oldest, Bass player
Paul 'Blue' Dunne was 17, guitarist Barry Godwin was 17 and drummer Dave Dyke
was 16. They did a couple of cover versions, one was The Boys 'First Time' was
one, but mainly they did their own great, original songs. I thought they were
fantastic and did my best to get them gigs and publicity. It was a fast moving
scene with bands appearing left, right and centre. Many of them were the
typical Jam and Who copyists but there was some good outfits as well. I thought
Speedball couldn't fail. Unfortunately I was wrong, the music press quickly
turned against the 'Mod Revival' and trashed every band in that genre. That got
rid of a lot of average bands but also bands that were playing fresh original
material. Judge for yourself. On this picture disc, there are four tracks that
were recorded early '79 by the original line up when the Mod revival scene was
quite small and anything seemed possible.
