Back in 1986, I bought this LP from The Forgotten Rebels` (more HERE) merch table, put it on tape and played it to death on my Walkman. After the sanitized 1985 EP, Boys Will Be Boys,this was the Rebels in all the crude n' hooky glory. For censor-baiting we have a slew of tracks like "Ethiopia", "Live Strippers in Action" and the musical contagion known as "(I'm in Love With Your) Underwear". For the punked up covers we have a fun run-through of The Beatles' "Rain" and an even-better roughing up of Status' Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men". To keep things mixed-up we have a Cramps-ian rockabilly track, "Graveyard Rock", a power-pop tune, "Sadie" and yet-another version of "Surfin' On Heroin".
Track Listing:
1. Ethiopia
2. Sadie
3. Graveyard Rock
4. Rain
5. Little Girl
6. Hiding In Your Room
7. I Am King
8. Bomb Russia
9. Matchstick Man
10. Live Strippers
11. Underwear
12. Surfin' On Heroin
Other People's Music re-mixed, re-titled, re-packaged and added bonus tracks to this album in 1996. This is a rip of the original vinyl, you may still be able to find the later version in the links below.

ReplyDeleteHope you 'enjoyed' the Boys Will Be Boys, I consider it a bit of a 'guilty pleasure'.
Thanks for all the Rebels rips. I use to see them all the time in the 80's when they would come down to Buffalo and play at the Continental.

ReplyDeleteThe Rebels in a nutshell!
the drums and im %99 sure other stuff were re-recorded for the CD version of this album.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how you know that but I'm inclined to trust you that there was extensive re-workings.
DeleteThe drums on the CD were recorded over again
