Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A fuzzbox--for the benefit of the uninitiated--is a foot-operated effects unit designed to make a guitar sound like a choir of singing wasps in a sawmill. Evidently, these four young punkettes from Birmingham were the proud owners of such a device in the mid 1980s, hence the bands' name. However, their songs were not the proud owners of tunes--at least not to begin with--and this compilation of live cuts, remixes and demos from various band members' basements and caravans only serves to remind us that Fuzzbox were a mixture of the Slits on an off-day and the Shaggs without the unintentional brilliance. But then something strange happened. The girls went away. And then they came back. But this time as professionally made-over Bangles-glamour-girls (cue fully-clothed coverage in Playboy magazine) who had discovered the true meaning of pop. Shazam! These Cinderellas were not only going to the ball, but also onto Top Of The Pops with the likes of the Thunderbirds-inspired "International Rescue" and the effervescent "Pink Sunshine", both of which appear here in previously unreleased extended dance remix format. Sometimes excruciatingly disposable ("The Queen Is Really Rather Nice") and at other times inspired and entertaining (the collaboration with the Nightingales on "Rockin' With Rita"), Rules And Regulations To Pink Sunshine will enthrall the Fuzzbox completist. There's even a track called "You" from an aborted and therefore unpublicised reunion in 1998. --Kevin Maidment
