Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2016
The classic ‘lost’ debut from London proto-punk legends and masters of disorder The Hollywood Brats
Remastered by keyboardist Casino Steel and now resplendent with a second disc of out-takes, rarities, live tracks and curios.
Produced in collaboration with singer Andrew Matheson and containing interviews, track-by-track guide, lyrics, unseen images shot by the brilliant Gered Mankowitz and assorted Brat-ernalia.
“Proper, true rock ‘n’ roll. The music is magnificent” - BOB GELDOF
“The Hollywood Brats are the greatest band I’ve ever seen” - KEITH MOON
“The Hollywood Brats are a folk legend; they were doing what they were doing before anybody” - BOB STANLEY
The Brats moved at the speed of light through a London that was doing its best to remember how it’d swung.
Eventually their chaos was captured on tape and an album slated for release but The Hollywood Brats fell at the final hurdle, bruised, drunk and plastered in stolen mascara.
The world remained unchanged as the album destined to do just that disappeared. Over the years, material has crept out in one form or another, but here is the definitive sonic record of The Hollywood Brats, as selected and conducted by the band themselves.
