December 1974 - Showaddywaddy
[review] The debut album by the finest rock & roll revival band ever to step out of the English Midlands, Showaddywaddy celebrates the success of debut hits "Hey Rock and Roll" and "Rock 'n' Roll Lady" by rounding up a dozen righteous stompers, divided between ace band originals and remarkable classic covers. Their version of "Johnny Remember Me" has to be one of the finest around, while "Bony Moronie" and "Temptation" also make sure the party keeps swinging all night long. In later years, Showaddywaddy could easily be accused of adhering so rigidly to a formula that their records became interchangeable. At the outset, however, they had a power and glory that rendered them untouchable, and this album sparkles with every ounce of that energy. >>
