THE SLOOPERS - Sloop / Radio (Frog 1975) Behind the name Sloopers there's nothing but Phillippe Renaux aka "Rocket Men" (check Crazee Kids Sound blog http://crazeekids-music.blogspot.com). Originally pressed on Polydor in 1974, the above issue was released one year later by the Italian Frog Records.
GNP - Can't We All / Can't We All (Metromedia 1972) Gross National Productions, or GNP were one of the early 70s Boston more original bands. Their album "P-Flaps And Low Blows" and their single "Can't We All" were produced by the legendary New York Dolls "Too Much too Soon" producer Shadow Morton. US issue.
BZN - Goodbye Sue (1975) One of the most popular Dutch bands of the 70s, BZN (Band Zonder Naam or "Band Without a Name") produced some good glam singles such as "GoodBye Sue" and "Bad Bad Woman" issued in 1971.
TEARS - Ooh Lah / Messalina (Gazell 1974) During the 70s the Swedish Tears released some good glam rock singles and three albums of which I would recommend the first two. Their first album includes both songs recorded on this single, completing a totally "Sweet" stlyled work.
TROLL BROTHERS - You Turn Me On / Turn Out The Lights (SRT PRODUCTIONS 197?) Review by Robin Wills (http://purepop1uk.blogspot.com) A strange release this one, to me it has a strong frat rock (The Premiers, Swilling Medallions) feel mixed it with a bit of One Hit Wonders (Mike Berry). From the catalogue number I would suggest it came out in 73/74. My theory is that the band was a pseudonym for George Bellamy (Ex Tornados) possibly with fellow ex members such Clem Clattini. The original Tornados re-recorded Telstar around this is on SRT. SRT was George’s label and GeoBell music was his own publishing company.
