I remember seeing the ad for this record in comic books growing up and always wondering what it sounded like. But then again, back then I was into Spandau Ballet and Kajagoogoo 

Gold! 
Always believe in your sou-ul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructib-le
Always be-lieve in, because you are
Gold! 

Difficult song to dislike that one.

As for Kajagoopoo, at school we always changed the last word on that one. Not many words escaped us actually - too shy de censored, too shy de censored, too shy de censored. You get the drift....

Is that 'Mean Limahl' Aweandlorder?

Too shy de shy, hush hush, I'm gonna rip your throat out!

I only recently read that Arthur Adams actually did base Longshot's mullet on Limahl's haircut.

I didn't realise the band was that well-known over in the States.

At least he didn't use the guy from Flock of Seagulls as a reference.

Absolutely. He was aware of him through "Never Ending Story" I think

I looooved Brit-Pop growing up. I always thought I was weird in that sense (well.. and other ways too) I used to collect No #1 & Bravo magazines and my room was full of posters from those magazines. ABC, Talk-Talk, Scritti Politti, Madness, Fun Boy Three, Ultravox, Thompson Twins, Malcolm McLaren, The Specials, FGTH,  Depeche.... Ahhhh so many others

ok I better stop hijacking Marwood's thread again ?

Anyone with cool music taste like that can hijack my threads all day long  You forgot Squeeze and Elvis though Aweandlorder (Costello that is, not that lesser known one)

The Spider-Man album reminded me of a band called Shrapnel, which I recall appearing in a Spider-Man Annual illustrated by Frank Miller.

Given the name, I always assumed they were heavy metal, but, on reading up about them, I've just discovered they were a punk band.

I also recall this ad in Marvels at the time...

 

That's all taken from an article about the band, but, for me, great nostalgia reading it.

I'd assumed they'd simply faded into total obscurity, but apparently one of the band members went on to form a rock band which I remember from the early to mid 90s, called Monster Magnet.  Again, an interesting surprise, especially as amongst comic book fans, and especially Deadpool fans, they're now best-known for a song called Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

* bump * Most of these LP's are from the early 1960s except 'Alice in Wonderland' kid's record is from 1953. '20k Leagues under the Sea' is unusual in that it features Jonny Quest cartoon heroes:

Not a record cover, but they went on a "Legacy of the Beast" tour plus released "Legacy of the Beast" comics... and Maiden is always appropriate for any thread:

For all my fellow boardies out there that are fans of the Cramps!
