When I was about 3 or 4, I got a kiddy record player and some discs for Xmas. One was a stormer called ‘Seaside Shuffle’ by Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs, It was a smash hit in about ’73. Guess who?
Stiff were bloody great. They’d put anything out. I think they even put out some of Yello’s erly stuff, Tracey Ulman lol! You should read Richard Balls’ book on Ian Dury. Even if you don’t like him, the meat of the book covers the stiff era – what a label. They’ll never be another…
Googles madly. Wow! I bet it’s one of those records I’d know if I heard it… (My god, ‘You’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties’: that’s a great record I’d forgotten till now.)
There’s a great Tracey Ullman track on that compilation. And Styrofoam Cats and Styrofoam Dogs (a friend has a very funny story about trying to make her school mates believe her when she said she’d just heard this record on the radio – on Peel’s show, I’m betting – about animals made of styrofoam…). And, oh, just everything on it. Stiff rules.
And Ian Dury does too. (Also RIP, and taken from us much much too early.)
Lene Lovich – oh yes! lol
Actually, my local fave radio station regularly plays that as one of their Christmas songs — a version done by (I think) the Corey/Corrie brothers band.
