Lyricist: Rob Chapman.
Personnel: Rob Chapman (vocals); Tony Wrafter (saxophone); Charlie Llewellin (drums, programming).
The Glaxo Babies had a strange two-stage career: first as punk rock originals (and John Peel staples) in 1977, and then in the mid-'80s as harbingers of the explosive union of dance music and neo-psych. This fine collection focuses on the latter stage when the band re-formed as a trio--vocalist Rob Chapman, guitarist Dan Catsis, and drummer Charlie Llewellin--and recorded a series of sides that melded off-kilter funk, British indie rock, and psychedelia. They were a commercial blip in their day, but the second half of Glaxo Babies' lifespan has aged well, and presaged the Madchester marriages of guitar weirdness and danceability that followed.
