Here's a song by the band that turned into 1000 Violins. The Page Boys had one 7" on Whaam! in 1983 called "You're My Kind of Girl", this is the b-side. Wally from The Beautiful Music called it electromod, but judge for yourselves. You can find this song on the Whaam! compilation that Vinyl Japan put out years ago. At least it might be easier to find than the original single! Couldn't find any proper pictures, so you'll have make do with this one snatched from eBay.
Electromod - a blending of 60's Mod with the 80's electronic Pop and would definitely be loved by anyone into The Hit Parade. They had so many more great tunes - it is a shame that more songs didn't get recorded and released. I have tracked down about 6 songs so far but maybe someone out there has more - Wally
This was a combined blog and radio show about POP! music. I started the blog when I moved to Glasgow and it ran during my stay there. We broadcast weekly from Glasgow University's Subcity.org. The shows are catalogued as SPLASHes, and you can still listen to all of them. There are also some rare or hard-to-find indiepop gems for download, and these are labelled DROP. Have fun while it lasts!
or any encouraging words you might have, can be sent to this address. But it'll be a whole lot easier to just leave a comment! I won't check the mail too often. If you've got more general ponderings, such as "what's all this pop stuff about anyway?", your questions might be answered by the manifesto I wrote some time ago, for better or worse.
