Pigbag - Dr Heckle And Mr Jive (1982)

Debut LP by english funky post-punk band Pigbag. The album consisted of eight instrumental tracks, and included the single, "Getting Up" (#61 U.K.). Pigbag disbanded in 1983 after five singles and three albums.

Simon Underwood, previously of The Pop Group was invited to join, along with his old friend and tenor sax player Ollie Moore. Simon's connections with manager Dick O'Dell landed their first gig, supportingThe Slits at Bristol's Romeo and Juliets. Based on the crowd's enthusiastic response to a 20 minute performance of their first song, O'Dell invited them to record the track for his label Y Records the very next day.

Their first single, "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag", was released in 1981 on Dick O'Dell's Y Records, taking inspiration for the title (if not the music) from James Brown's "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag". The instrumental release quickly became an underground dance hit, selling many thousands of copies and appearing high in the independent charts. Feeling that he had created and lost control of a 'monster' with too many egos to contend with, Hamlin abandoned the band.

April 1982 saw the release of their first album "Dr. Heckle & Mr Jive", which was massively successful topping the indie charts for several weeks. A major college tour followed in the spring which put a lot of stress on the band, particularly Roger Freeman. "Papa's" was re-released, receiving club play and making the

UK charts, peaking at number 3. The band also made two appearances on "Top of the Pops" on April 8th & 22nd. Freeman departed before the first (turning up later in Dr. Calculus).

The Headboys - The Headboys (1979)

The Headboys were a Scottish power pop act that scored minor chart success in 1979 with their excellent single, The Shape of Things to Come. The song was the first track on their debut and only LP, this self-titled release from the same year.
As a result of the success of the single, the band planned a U.S. tour and second LP, neither of which came to fruition.
While nothing on the record is quite as good as The Shape of Things to Come, there's plenty of other worthwhile tracks here such as the incredibly fun My Favourite D.J., the driving Changing With the Times and the delicate ballad Silver Lining.
Definitely worth a listen for any fan of late-70s power pop!
