INCREDIBLE KIDDA BAND - (Watch Out) Thief

An incredibly gifted power-pop quintet, The Incredible Kidda Band without a doubt were the most exciting things to come out of Coventry since the Blitz (bombs in the sky, not razors in the night). Sadly, too much, too little, too late was the fate of the majority of the bands recordings, BUT NOW, thanks to the intervening hand of Last Laugh Records, two of the bands best 1978 recordings are free to sing and spin at the speed at which nature had always intended: 45 rpm! The A-side - Watch Out Thief - is Thorstein Veblen with a brown-ale pub dance beat or perhaps the Cockney Rejects Badman cast as a mod instead of a skin, while the B-side - You Belong To Me - shows exactly where the Exploding Hearts were lifting 90% of their melodic ideas. Vintage, top-ranking Great British power pop: first time at 45 with period appropriate picture sleeve design by Sing Sing Records dynamo Trey Lindsey and utterly essential to your life. YOU BUY IT! - Last Laugh.
