From Glasgow, Scotland, comes this celebrated band featuring former members of TEENAGE FANCLUB, THE SOUP DRAGONS and EUGENIUS. On this limited edition they have been produced by Kim Fowley (THE MODERN LOVERS, THE RUNAWAYS...) and Mike Bennett (THE FALL). Limited edition to 1000 copies.
Dos canciones de este legendario grupo de Glasgow, formado por ex-miembros de TEENAGE FANCLUB, EUGENIUS, THE SOUP DRAGONS y LA PORTUARIA (!). En una extenuante sesión de 24 horas grabaron estos temas con la ayuda del legendario Kim Fowley (productor de los MODERN LOVERS o las RUNAWAYS) y de Mike Bennett (productor de THE FALL).

At Elefant we are congratulating ourselves on the release, for the second time, of the exclusive 7” of one of the most vital and active groups of the Scottish pop scene. Duglas T. Stewart put together a handful of unreleased songs in this item that marks the sepia tinted memory of the most elegantly poppy seventies, led by the piano, evoking the halo of composers like Burt Bacharach or Henry Mancini and artists like Dusty Springfield or Françoise Hardy. From the new version of “Our Secret Life” in French, rebaptized here as “Quand il n'y a plus d'amour” (with the French adaptation by Nick Garrie) to the closing gem of the EP, a version of “Hopelessly Devoted to You” that Olivia Newton-John sang in “Grease”, on of our favorite films, which Duglas deliciously recreates with the collaboration of the Scottish band THE ATTIC LIGHTS. The single is completed with two very recent recordings, the unreleased “I Can Wait Forever”, intimate folk pop marked with elegant melodies and vocals,… [+] Más...

From the new version of “Our Secret Life” in French, rebaptized here as “Quand il n'y a plus d'amour” (with the French adaptation by Nick Garrie) to the closing gem of the EP, a version of “Hopelessly Devoted to You” that Olivia Newton-John sang in “Grease”, on of our favorite films, which Duglas deliciously recreates with the collaboration of the Scottish band THE ATTIC LIGHTS. The single is completed with two very recent recordings, the unreleased “I Can Wait Forever”, intimate folk pop marked with elegant melodies and vocals, and a version of “You Don’t Want to Be My Girlfriend, Phoebe” by MY LITTLE AIRPORT. When Duglas received MY LITTLE AIRPORT’s album, published by Elefant, he fell instantly in love with the song. He played it live a few days later and soon after decided to record it in the studio, the magnificent result of which is here. A precious collection of songs with the indelible stamp of one of the most gifted minds in pop of the last 25 years at the controls. As always, Duglas, it’s a pleasure.
Limited edition [White Vinyl]
En Elefant nos congratulamos de poder editar, por segunda vez, un 7” exclusivo de uno de los grupos más vitales y activos de la escena pop escocesa. Duglas T. Stewart recoge un puñado de temas inéditos en esta referencia en la que prima el recuerdo en sepia de los años sesenta más elegantemente pop, dirigidos por el piano, evocando el halo de compositores como Burt Bacharach o Henry Mancini y artistas como Dusty Springfield o Françoise Hardy. Desde esa nueva versión en francés de “Our secret life”, aquí rebautizada como “Quand il n'y a plus d'amour” (con adaptación al francés de Nick Garrie) a la joya que cierra este EP, una versión del “Hopelessly devoted to you” que cantaba Olivia Newton-John en “Grease”, una de nuestras películas favoritas, que Duglas recrea deliciosamente con la colaboración de la banda escocesa THE ATTIC LIGHTS. El single se completa con dos grabaciones muy recientes, la inédita “I can wait forever”, folk pop intimista y pausado con elegantes melodías vocales, y la versión de “You don't want to be my girlfriend, Phoebe” de MY LITTLE AIRPORT. Cuando Duglas recibió el álbum de MY LITTLE AIRPORT publicado en Elefant, cayo inmediatamente enamorado de esta canción. A los pocos días la interpreto en directo y más tarde decidió grabarla en estudio con este magnifico resultado. Una preciosa colección de canciones con el indeleble sello a los mandos de una de las mentes más privilegiadas para el pop que ha existido durante los últimos 25 años. Como siempre, un placer, Duglas.

We proudly re-release the debut album by this legendary band from Glasgow, which we could consider the origins of such important outifs such as TEENAGE FANCLUB, EUGENIUS or SOUP DRAGONS. Our new pressing features ten extra tracks and a new cover.
Después de organizar su mini-gira española, reeditamos el primer LP del seminal grupo escocés, grabado cuando Norman Blake (TEENAGE FANCLUB) formaba parte del grupo, con la particularidad de que incluimos nada menos que diez (¡10!) temas extras: entre ellos, una versión de sus adorados BEACH BOYS y un tema compuesto por Dan Treacy (TV PERSONALITIES) expresamente para ellos.
