Frequently referenced over on Glamrock Aftershock (probably only second to Gunfire Dance), Soho Roses were the band we modelled our own outfit, the Rockit Dolls, on. Indeed as a nod to this EP's closing track 'Crazy 'Bout Me', we wrote 'I Love Me (Who Do You Love?)'.
The sleeve is pure class, Paul Blitz reclining with a bottle of Thunderbird in his varnished grasp - two more bottles lay strewn on the floor along with a can of Shockwaves Hard Rock hairspray (seriously, nothing else worked as well before CFCs were banned in aerosols), a full ashtray, party ribbons and a book on Marilyn Monroe.
The band's second release, 'So Alone' (the first record of theirs I heard) was their finest song, but this EP is a valued (re)addition to the collection.
