Product Description

Album Description

* The Escalators' sole Big Beat album (CDWIKM 15 from 1983) is released in a cardboard facsimile of the LP, as part of Ace's ongoing Hip Pocket series.

* The Escalators were formed by two ex-members of the Meteors, Nigel Lewis and Mark Robertson. They were augmented by Bart Coles on bass and extra vocals, and Woodie, another ex-Meteor.

* The band recorded this album and two single for Big Beat. `Munsters Theme' actually crept into the Top 100 and was one of the label's best-selling singles.

* Soon after the release of this LP the band became the Tall Boys.

Format:Audio CD
Put quite simply this is an 'AWESOME' album getting a deserved CD release by BIG BEAT.The escalators featured two of the origenal members of Psychobilly giants THE METEORS,messers NIGEL LEWIS and MARK ROBERTSON way back in 1983(although the origenal Meteors also used the name for an 'undecover' 7'' EP release back in 1981 as THE CLAPHAM SOUTH ESCALATORS).Also in the band was another ex member of The Meteors WOODIE who origenaly replaced Mark Robertson in 1982.The band is completed by BART COLES.Comparisons with The Meteors carnt be helped and like the origenal line-up your getting 'two groups in one' that is vocal duties are shared from track to track by Nigel and Bart(as they were by Nigel and P.Paul Fenech in the Meteors).Although the music isnt out and out Psychobilly-its much more proggresive-the tracks are not only origenal in their construction they are also fantastic songs-everyone of them!!! Production is pin sharp and the musicianship is of the very highest quality.Best tracks are...well all of them really! Fans of the origenal-and by far the best Meteors line-up will love these recordings especialy the Nigel Lewis tracks(isnt it a shame HE wasnt allowed to keep The Meteors name?).The only gripe with this CD release is that the brilliant two 7'' singles SOMETHINGS MISSING/THE EDGE and MUNSTERS THEME/MONDAY arnt on the album as extra tracks(athough there is a better 'album version' of Monday).Quite frankly a brilliant album-practicaly unheard except for the die hards and well worth buying.
