The Loner<\/a><\/p>\nFine band, a band that actually got much better with age, a statement\u00a0that anyone who has owned or heard the material from 1979-80 would no doubt agree with. The first LP simply called \u2018Chelsea\u2019 also on Step Forward is a magnificent peice of plastic and well worth getting hold off from wherever you can. Ditto the singles compilation \u2018Alternative Hits\u2019, also on Step Forward Records.<\/p>\n
Started life as L.S.D. performing at the Coum Transmissions event \u2018Prostitution\u2019 at the I.C.A. in October 1976, then quickly renamed Chelsea. Three of the four members then left to form Generation X who were to become massive, and I must remember to put some Generation X up on this site.<\/p>\n
Early signings, and in fact, ending up as long term signings (as a few of the other bands all got signed up with other labels) with Step Forward. This record was Chelsea\u2019s debut and Step Forwards second release. It is a real blast, and this band should not be ignored as they were a real treasure up to about 1983 at least. I know nothing of the band after this time, I do remember Gene October running around the \u2018Intrepid Fox\u2019 pub opposite the old \u2018Marquee\u2019 venue a fair few times though, sometimes running after me, bless!<\/p>\n
Apologies for the quality of my record sleeve, looks like it had a run in with a washing machine and lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
