William Mysterious: Security of Noise 7'' (1982)


 (all scans and rips by Roberto!)

William Mysterious (a.k.a. Alastair Donaldson) who played with Scottish folk band Silly Wizard before becoming the bassist (and sax player) for both The Rezillos and The Revillos has died (obituary). His role in The Rezillos and The Revillos was no mystery; he had to keep the flighty zaniness of Fay Fife and Eugene Reynolds grounded. And oh did he lash their day-glo flights-of-fancy like "(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures" right to the earth so they could bounce around in front of our ears.





This obscure 1982 single on Mysterious' own Mezzanine Records, featuring a backing assist by Fay Fife and The Revettes, is Mysterious' sole solo release.





Feel free to share your thoughts on the work of Mr. Mysterious in the COMMENTS section.

The Rezillos: Cold Wars (Live, 1979)



Back when I was on my first Rezillos tear (see HERE) , Ian P. forwarded me this version of the Cold Wars 7" wherein each track (including the A-side) are from the band's final gig at The Glasgow Apollo on December 23rd 1978!

A           Cold Wars        
B1         Flying Saucer Attack        
B2         Twist And Shout





PLEASE LEAVE US A COMMENT ON ALL THIS REZILLO-IAN GOODNESS (speaking of those oh-so-encouraging comments, that is the place wherein you will find the [live] Cold Wars 7" link.)
