Roberto's Rarities:
An irregular MRML series powered by the wild generosity of our reader, Roberto: Enjoy and don't forget to leave our benefactor a thank-you comment.
After leaving Newcastle scratchy post-punk band Punishment Of Luxury (more HERE), singer Brian Bond formed Punching Holes (with Tim Jones, Norman Emerson and rock music writer Sid Smith who would later write a successful King Crimson biography). Here's their lone single, produced by the late Dave Goodman (more to come...) for the Pinnacle label.
Reactions to this Punilux-related rarity are strongly encouraged and can be left in the COMMENTS section (where the La Mer 7" link can be found).

ReplyDeletemerci.
ReplyDeletereblogged you at PCL and Glyphjockey
ReplyDeleteWhen I played La Mer - I thought "Roberto, what the hell is this - its terrible". But the b-side saved it - talk about contrast - I didn't know about this one, its interesting to hear another direction of Punilux.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hi Gary,glad you like it,La Mer is a cover of Charles Trenet,a french singer from the '40's,a myth in France,his songs still used in adverts...

ReplyDeleteCharles Trenet began his career in the forties, but he remained very famous (in France) till his death some ten years ago.
ReplyDelete"La Mer" is his most famous song and its regularly quoted as "the best french song from the 20th century".
Thanks a lot for this oddity !
Phillipe how can this be "the best French song from the 20th century"
ReplyDeleteWhat about Métal Urbain, Stinky Toys and my favourite French song from the 20th Century - Chinese Gangster by Warm Gun?
:-)
Hey everybody thanks for the comments - I predicted this one to get a minimal reaction and I was pleasantly mistaken.
