Basinger - Handsome 7''

BASINGER
Handsome
1993 Hair Records

Basinger were a great Yeovil band that seldom get a mention in the higher echeons of the Yeovil hierachy of pop. The greatest Yeovil band of all time was undoubtedly The Chesterfilds and Simon Barber proved there was life afterwards in Yeovil despite many local upsurpers trying there luck, not to mention Beat Hotel and the Urban Folk collective (Simon Tucker take a bow... ) Basingers soaring guitars and backing vocals from Stu Harris totally complimented Simon's driving bass and lead vocal style,none so finer as on the track "No Thrill" which really deserved a far wider play on radio. Basinger can hold there heads up high, they did the Yeovil proud.
They released three singles: Something 7'' (1990), Boomerang EP (1992 Wilde Club Records) and Handsome (1993 Hair Records)

V.A. - I Might Walk Home Alone

Various Artists
I Might Walk Home Alone
1992 Wilde Club Records

Wilde Club Records was an independent UK imprint helmed by Norwich club owner Dave Bates. Most of the releases from the early '90s label were 12" singles of bands that seemed to follow in the paths of The Stone Roses, Wedding Present and Ride. The label's two most prominent releases were the first two singles by Catherine Wheel ("She's My Friend" and "Painful Thing"), who would eventually sign with Fontana and attain wider success internationally as a respected cult band. The Bardots were the only other band of major notice to have released material on the label; the remainder of the outfits were pretty cut-rate. I Might Walk Home Alone is a compilation of the label's highlights, featuring Catherine Wheel's "She's My Friend" in its hazy original version (pretty much the only way to obtain it on CD), as well as The Bardots' just-as-swirly "Summerhouse." One obscuro that sticks out is the terrific "Bite the Apple" by Shine!, who approximate the fevered pop of early Wedding Present while adding ultra-melodic multi-part harmonies. What became of them? Blair 1523's "Take Me There" is hippie-ish Chapterhouse-lite, while the remainder of the bands stick to copycatting their record collections. Regardless of its patchiness, it's a decent compilation for those who can't get enough of that fuzzy stuff.
