THIS IS WHY JESUS CHRIST INVENTED THE INTERNET, PART TWO......
If you've got a yen for near-perfect DIY pop played by three naif British females at the close of the 1970s/dawn of the 80s, then you're probably already a fan of the DOLLY MIXTURE. Or maybe, like most folks, you just haven't heard them yet. Now there's no excuse, as a public servant has posted their entire career & then some on a single page, all yours for the taking. Want to start slow? My favorites are the all-time classic 45 "Everything and More" and "He's So Frisky" from "The Demonstration Tapes". When this blog started in early 2003 I was frantically scouring record stores for this stuff & emailing folks around the globe -- it's about as rare as rare gets. I don't swoon for too much saccharine pop but this stuff is, like, genre-defining, and some of the best I've ever, ever heard. You can get it all right here.
