A long-time favourite band of John Peel, Fabulous Poodles (formerly The Poodles) formed in 1975 and were well known for not only their humorous numbers, but also for their eccentric stage antics, which often included shenanigans such as exploding ukuleles. Originally consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Tony de Meur (subsequently of the comedy shows The Comic Strip and The Young Ones), bassist Richie Robertson, violin and mandolin player Bobby Valentino (later to be co-writer of the #1 hit single Young at Heart by The Bluebells) and drummer Bryn Burrows, Fabulous Poodles were featured on the Old Grey Whistle Test and also toured with the likes of Tom Petty, Meat Loaf, The Ramones, Sha Na Na, Bill Bruford, and as Chuck Berry’s backing band. Includes all three of the band’s original albums, Fabulous Poodles (1977), Unsuitable (1978) and Think Pink (1979), all of their Pye Records singles and B-sides, plus a wealth of previously unreleased demo material, packing this three CD set full of the band’s most essential recordings. This is the first time much of the contained material has ever been released on CD, with the majority of the bonus material also having never been previously released on any format. This special package contains CD wallet replicas of the band’s album covers, faithfully reproducing their original artwork. Fully endorsed by the band themselves, and with full sleeve notes by vocalist and band leader Tony de Meur. All material has been fully remastered (from the original tapes where possible) especially for this release.
