Anyway, thanks again for all the wonderful posts that you keep on putting out. Your blog is a truly magical thing! :-) 2:24 AM Anonymous said... Percussionist turned lead vocalist Mark Fox has had an interesting time of it since Haircut 100. He joined Echo & The Bunnymen as their drummer when Pete De Freitas left the band at the start of 1986. By September of the same year, however, De Freitas rejoined the group. (De Freitas was actually killed 3 years later in a motorcycle accident). By then Mark Fox was working for the huge BMG music publishing group. He was the A & R man who Australia's Natalie Imbruglia approached when she was broke after spending a couple of years trying to "make it" in London following her role in Neighbours. It was Fox who she approached. He hooked her up with former Cure bassist Phil Thornally and the trio recorded "Torn". The rest, as they say, is history. As far as we know, Mark Fox is still a creative director with BMG in the UK." Overall, really well put together. A band like H100 don’t need a big boxset like, say, King Crimson. This is compact, and does what it sets out to do. It reminds me of my favourite of this year’s 80s reissues - Fun Boy Three. Their complete collection set is on similar lines to this. Pelican West is the debut studio album by the British new wave band Haircut One Hundred, released on 26 February 1982 by Arista Records. It peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart [8] and No. 31 on the Billboard 200, [9] and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). [10]Overall this collection is an absolutely essential treat for the fans and I think something anyone with a love of popular music who only knows the hits would thoroughly enjoy. In a world full of dark and gloom allow some musical light and brightness in. You will definitely feel better for it. They really don’t make them like this anymore but we can hope that this collection and the one-off gig could convince the band to finish that 2nd album properly. Let’s face it the world needs some Haircut 100 now more than ever.

was an extraordinary year for music. Post punk, new wave, new romantics, electronica, reggae, Chas and Dave. All vying for a place in the charts. In amongst all of this a band formed in 1981 released an album as part of the South East jazz funk movement but it turned out to be much more than that. Where Linx , shakatak , Funkapolitan and others skirted with success Haircut 100 exploded into our lives, the pop magazines and our televisions with Pelican West. At its heart it was a jazz funk album, but it contained 3 crossover pure pop singles with those iconic striped covers. Love Plus One, Fantastic Day and the first single… Favourite Shirts – this collection includes the album and original 1982 12″ versions and the extended version that featured on the 1996 Greatest Hits compilation. with this post you made me very, very happy! I never thought the day would come when I listen to those unreleased songs. Adrian Thrills (1 May 2023). "I Didn't Know How to Deal with Being a Frontman". Record Collector. p.57. While I'm here, I suppose I could humbly ask for some things that have been eluding me for a while.

I visit this blog so many time,because every time something new,and I read all articale your blog, very interesting. Kingsize (You're My Little Steam Whistle) 12. Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) (Long) 13. Calling Captain Autumn What made me post a comment, though is that I've got a nagging feeling (though one I can't currently substantiate using the web) that Phil Smith in some capacity worked with either John Foxx, Eddie & Sunshine or maybe even I-Level. It may have any one of those, or possibly all of them. I'm certain I remember seeing him 'accompanying' John Foxx on Top Of The Pops, once!
