Love Machine \/ The Sandman Never Sleeps<\/a><\/p>\nChris on a recent comment, reminded me that for a short time in the mid 1980\u2019s there seemed to be a fashion sweeping the land that included donning a black\u00a0 roll-neck, black levi 501\u2019s and a pair of pointy pixie boots. The Stirling Morrison 1967 hair style\u00a0was an optional extra for those lucky enough to have been born with jet black hair. That particular hair style never looked that great with any other coloured hair. Wrap round shades were worn whether in the day or in the night!<\/p>\n
One of the bands that started out with this basic look were My Bloody Valentine, who for extra KYPP points had in their ranks Debbie Goodge from Yeovil, whose first band, The Bikini Mutants is on this site somewhere if you use the search function. She was also a contributor to\u00a0the \u2018All The Madmen\u2019 Fanzine, which evolved into the record label of the same name,\u00a0bands on that label\u00a0included The Mob, The Astronauts, Flowers In The Dustbin etc.<\/p>\n

I saw My Bloody Valentine perform many times, but one of the best times was as support to Angels Of Light (Psychic TV) in a squat next to the Hackney Central station in 1986,\u00a0a gig that finished around 05.00 in the morning! I went along with Curtis late of The Mob, at that time performing in Blyth Power.<\/p>\n
This record was My Bloody Valentine\u2019s debut 12\u2033 release and the sound is completely different to the records released for the Kaleidoscope and Lazy Record labels a year or so later. My Bloody Valentine finally signed for Creation Records in (I think) 1988 and released some stunning singles for that label. The amount that the label spent on the recording and the remixing of their excellent LP \u2018Isn\u2019t Anything\u2019 was a factor that brought the Creation record label to it\u2019s knees for a short while.<\/p>\n
