The Dodgems: Lord Lucan Is Missing (1980)



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.

Brighton, UK's The Dodgems (more HERE) 2nd Atrix Records single from 1980 is another cool splicing of futurism and retroism. "Lord Lucan Is Missing" features a churchy organ sound, a quick tempo and tremendously hooky use of repetition, while "Got To Give It Up" examines nicotine compulsion in an arty, yet witty and catchy, way.


(This is an alternate take of the LLiM, I believe.)

A         Lord Lucan Is Missing

  2. As a Brightonian who was sadly too young to be part of the vibrant punk scene, I just wanted to say thank you for these.
