Title: A fine reprise
Review: The Electric Bluebirds were a well known pub band in London in the early 80s. Bizarrely, they ended up adopting a Cajun style, and a unique most un-London swirling accordian / fiddle mix.They released an eponymously titled album in 85 or so, which sank without trace partly because the band had effectively already split, partly because it got no airplay but mainly because the record company went bust.I bought it at the time and played it to death - it was quite brilliant. Everyone who heard it promptly ran off to try and find a copy (which was not easy).Most (all?) of the original album is on this CD, along with some earlier pub stuff which they clearly like and I don't, much.Frankly, if the idea of a Cajun band from Deptford appeals in any way, then buy it. I cannot praise it too highly, and finding it has almost stopped me missing my Linn Sondek.
