DARLING Lookin' Kinda Rock 'n' Rolled / Dead End Kids



















DARLING Lookin' Kinda Rock 'n' Rolled / Dead End Kids (Charisma 1978)
French issue in nice coloured vinyl of Darling's first single. They were a British band born from the ashes of Slack Alice, they released three singles and one LP all on Charisma Records. Both sides of the single are a good mix of glam and powerpop with a touch of hard rock for good measure.

"In The Grip Of The Mullah" is a nice boogie/bubbleglam workout by this obscure British band. Rimington featured Tat Meager, writer of the song, who had previously drummed for Siren and Judd. The b side is the original instrumental version of "Dragon Child", a song that appeared on the flipside of Rats' "Don't Let Go" single.
