THE BOYFRIENDS (1978)







Here are The Boyfriends, not the same Boyfriends, but the U.K. Boyfriends who were lucky to release three 7" singles - one more than the U.S. Boyfriends. Pat Collier, the former Vibrators bass player, so went on to form the Boyfriends and released those 3 singles on United Artists, produced by Martin Rushent, of Buzzcocks fame. The U.K. Boyfriends were not very successful but the three singles were enjoyable. They disbanded soon after. Pat Collier has since had a long career as a producer working with all sorts of post-punk and indie bands (Robyn Hitchcock & The Soft Boys, House Of Love, Wonderstuff...). "I'm In Love Today", the first single with its singalong chorus and haunting keyboards was featured on Volume 1 of the "Shake Some Action" compilations.
