ALBRATROSS - Anything I Want To Do

ALBRATROSS - Anything I Want To Do (197? - Trident Studios Acetate)
The same Albatross who released the singles "The Band Played On" - already on this blog - and "Tobacco Road". Here's the acetate of their second single, a solid rocker with robust guitar riffage. Enjoy!

DOUGLAS - Monkey Song

DOUGLAS - Monkey Song / Montego Sunshine (CBS 1975)
This single by Sweden's Douglas Westlunds was already reviewed by Purepop years ago. I'm posting it again just to show you this amazing Italian picture cover and to give you another chance to listen to this incredible catchy track.

THE FRONT END - Eeny Meeny

THE FRONT END - Eeny Meeny / You (Smash 1967)
Amazing tune by obscure US band The Front End. Unfortunately I can't find any info about them, but "Eeny Meeny" is a catchy bubblegum/garage song and is worthy of your attention. Produced by Steve and Bill Jerome.

TURNPIKE - Big Machine

TURNPIKE - Big Machine / Lazer Thereza (Fontana 1974)
UK pressing of this atmospheric Psych/Glam number released in 1974 by obscure band Turnpike. Produced by Tim Hollier. Enjoy!

THE RIPPERS - Rape

THE RIPPERS - Rape / Dance (Global Records 1971)
Here's another typical Jonathan King production. "Rape" is a funny, catchy pop song made even better thanks to this amazing picture cover.
German issue.

CASA DAS MAQUINAS - Casa de Rock

CASA DAS MAQUINAS - Casa de Rock (1976)
Cool video and great glam rock tune by '70s Brazilian band Casa das Máquinas. This track is from their third album "Casa de Rock", released in 1976. Enjoy!

DESIRA - Gorilla

DESIRA - Gorilla / Angel Demonic (Saga To Kong) (Thunder 197?)
Here's a total obscurity released in the US maybe between 1976 and '78. Gorilla is a brutal glam-punker piece with loud guitar and wild vocals produced by Damon Alberti and Sam Kleinman. The single is accompanied by an amazing poster that reads "Don't Listen Alone...Recorded In The Jungle". Enjoy!

JETT BLACK - Mademoiselle / You Make Everything Dirty

JETT BLACK - Mademoiselle / You Make Everything Dirty (Fiddlers 1977)
Great single by obscure US outfit Jett Black.
I couldn't find any info about this band, apart from a Canadian 80's AOR band with the same name, but I don't think it's the same group.
However, both tracks on this single are a tough combination of hard rock, glam and punk. "Mademoiselle" was written in 1976 but the single was released one year later. US issue produced by Jett Black & Michael Bruce.

THE LOFTUS ROADRUNNERS - Queens Park Rangers / Drive Me Down To QPR

THE LOFTUS ROADRUNNERS - Queens Park Rangers / Drive Me Down To QPR (Gama 1977)
UK pressing of this amazing football-glam two sider by The Loftus Road Runners. Both songs were produced by Max Hole and Wayne Bardell and written by Bruce Thomas, who also joined Elvis Costello and The Attractions.
With the help of my friend Tim "Purr" and his great compilation, "On The Glitter Ball", other singles like this will be soon on Proudfoot Sound Blog.
