BOLLOCK BROTHERS – never mind the bollocks 1983 (LP Vinyl)

Formed in 1979 by deejay and promoter Jock McDonald, British punk band The Bollock Brothers have maintained a prolific recording career and tour schedule for over thirty years with a loyal fanbase in France, Belgium and Germany. Noted for their Led Zeppelin, Alex Harvey Band and David Bowie cover versions, their electro reworking of the Sex Pistols´ "Never Mind The Bollocks" is among their most critically acclaimed. In somewhat of a publicity coup, the album features Michael Fagan, the man who´d famously entered HRH The Queen´s Buckingham Palace bedchamber in 1982. Replete with drum machines and synthesisers, the album’s appeal lies in McDonald´s cheeky delivery of songs so robust they can withstand any reinterpretation, no matter how irreverent. The second of their four albums released on Charly in the early 1980s, this reissue has been remastered from the original tapes and is presented here on 180-gram neon pink vinyl. * Charly
