Bollards! - S/T 1977

'Bollards', ho ho, can you see what they did there?! OK, then titles like 'Sowin' Me Oats', 'Find Us the Seamen?' and 'Scrumpy Rules O.K.' might make things more clear? Yes, this is resolutely an album by blokes for blokes, full of bawdy songs that deal with sensitive subjects like spousal abuse with that peculiarly British 70s Carry On-like mix of salaciousness and utter naivety.

Apart from the uncharacteristic reggae song One Way Love, with its moogy melody line, there isn't a lot to recommend this LP I'm afraid. Even though it's from 1977 (the year that God Save the Queen was released - imagine!), it is so redolent of a now-lost, pre-binge drink world of Party 7s and smoky working men's clubs, pale breasts and phwoaars, that any analysis is pointless really. A true relic in other words.
