the Vibrators
Automatic Demos - 1977
(Cleopatra)
In the 1970s' concluding years, England's Vibrators had a go at giving moribund Rock'n'Roll the healthy boot it deserved. Scene fellows the Sex Pistols, Clash, and Damned moved more product and accrued more ink, but the Vibrators slogged through the same battle zones and were, frankly, more skilled musicians than many now-forgotten contemporaries. Their witty tunes sped with marked brio and made pogoers of all exposed.
Several songs demoed here appear on the group's 1978 V2 LP. Cleopatra issued this on green marble vinyl.
Lamentably, founding member and bassist Pat Collier passed just last month. His rumbling frameworks boosted the the Vibrators' appeal. In later times, he collaborated onstage and in recording atmospheres with numerous acts both celebrated and obscure.
Recommended: "He's a Psycho," "Feel Alright," "But I Do," "Flying Duck Theory," "Stitch You Up," "Frontline Europe," "24 Hour People"
