Bette Davis And The Balconettes

I haven't been able to find out much about this band, unfortunately. They hailed from Manchester and featured three girls and two boys, if the photo from the Damaged Good website is to be trusted.

These records are all totally amazing. There is so much good stuff here, and it makes me glad that I went through the trouble of tracking down all five of these. Consider yourselves lucky that now, at long last, you can listen to all of this digitally.

It is still hard for me to believe that they never released an LP.

If you like any of that boy/girl English stuff (Huggy Bear, Red Monkey, etc.) then you will love this. I know I do.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, five singles by Bette Davis And The Balconettes.
