EYE ON EBAY

Rarely seen with a picture cover, and given the quasi Penthouse poses the four brazen young men with milky bar-coloured chests are striking that's a boon, the Spider single entraps a punter for a respectable £103. Dressed identically in sham glam they resemble stylish bin men. According to 45 Revolutions both songs, Back To The Wall and Down And Out
(both titles imaginatively expressed in a single image on the pic sleeve!) are fine examples of powerpop glampunk.

...and that's for a copy without the original p/s. Anyway, worth every penny. Don't let all their later records put you off.

Cheers Bristolboy. I was in Bristol about six months ago rooting around a second-hand record shop for four hours.

i'm guessing it was "plastic wax" on cheltenham rd... great shop (pretty cheap)you should see their upstairs rooms, 2 floors of unsorted records (loads of 45's - my bank ballances' downfall)
ebay seller (for spider 45)is the north at its height who you've already mentioned before

Yes it was Plastic Wax but I never got to see the upstairs. How damn remiss. When the snow has cleared I may head west.
