THE BERKELEY SQUIRES - INTRODUCING... (1998)


















Formed in March 1988, The Berkeley Squires recorded their first EP with four strong songs like "I Stand Alone", "The Best I Can" and the unbeatable "None Of Your Business". All four members were old hands in the music business. Ron Silva was with the legendary Crawdaddys and the Nashville Ramblers. Jeff Jacks was in The End and The Immediates, he also worked with Cyril Jordan (Flamin' Groovies) and Sal Valentino (Beau Brummels). Stephen Moss was the youngest member of the crew and Glenn Sadin was playing guitar with The Seen (which also included Doug Edmunds of the Gladhands).

If you're a fan of early Beatles and Byrds, you will love these guys.

THE NIVENS - RECYCLE (1990)


















Howard Turner and Russ Storerson formed the Nivens way back in '85 in Norwich (England). Pioneers of the guitar band thing honing their own brand of jangle-psychedelia, a harder musical edge fusing acid grooves to the REM / Byrds / Smithereens / Groovies sensibilities.

A singer/songwriter/frontman , Howard Turner, who is also a maverick record producer (Jazz Butcher, Perfect Disaster, Close Lobsters, the Dentists, The Avons, The Chairs, The Bardots, ...), sometime racing driver and all round paisley freak. A deal with Danceteria Records in France in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s helped the band develop through the years.

In 1990, they released "Recycle", a 5 song CDEP of covers

VARIOUS - TIME WILL SHOW THE WISER (1989)


















Named after the Merry-Go-Round song, "Time Will Show The Wiser" is the definitive Bucketfull Of Brains collection. With 10 years worth of magazines behind and within the confines of a 45 minutes LP album, "Time Will Show The Wiser" was the cross-section of the kind of music echoeing the editor's published coverage. Editor Jon Strorey didn't merely re-press the magazine's previously released flexis (Gene Clark, Chills, Giant Sand) but added some completely unreleased tracks from Eleventh Dream ay, Thin White Rope, The Seers and a few others. The CD edition includes extra tracks from Roland, Dentists, Chemistry Set and Green Pajamas.
