A celebration of the multi-faceted British alt. rock\/pop scene which flourished 1992- 1998, midway through attracting the term Brit Pop. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scene was a fusion. Grunge was out Glam was in. 70's charity shop tops, jeans went skinny, fringes floppy and sportswear vintage donned. Soundtracks, TV themes, Moog grooves, Punk, Indie, Hi Nrg, Glam and New Wave hit the decks. Different aspects of 20th Century musical culture collided to create something new. \u003ci\u003eSuper Sonics\u003c\/i\u003e is a slice of ‘single’ heaven from across the range of musical styles which sprouted. Such styles were referred to as the New Wave Of New Wave, The Scene That Celebrates Itself and more until Brit Pop was coined to cover it all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSuper Sonics\u003c\/i\u003e includes representations from other key scene clubs such as Blow Up (the label from which is still going today) and Fantasy Ashtray whose nightly host was Davina McCall. Other scene alumni include radio presenter Lauren Laverne - famously emerging from Kenickie; Louis Elliott from Rialto who founded the Port Elliott festival; Ella Guru of the Voodoo Queens - a leading artist of the Stuckist art movement; We Are Pleb (whose track here is previously unreleased) begat TV sensation Dennis Pennis by way of singer Paul Kaye and Paul Jones guitarist with Linoleum and later Elastica who now guides today’s artists as A\u0026amp;R at Rough Trade Records. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSuper Sonics\u003c\/i\u003e Martin Green has compiled a compelling listening experience. And it’s very Brit: Dave Devant is the 90s Alan Klein (the 60s Londoner whose LP “Well At Least It’s British” inspired Damon Albarn’s “Modern Life is Rubbish”); other songs dwell on London Girls, the virtues of Pimlico and a Penthouse in Belgravia; and Earl Brutus request Take me to your Harvester..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisc One\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAFRODISIAC - Powder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARQUIS - Linoleum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eROUGH LOVER – Posh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAD - Mantaray\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eREVOLVE - Pimlico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSO SMALL – Showgirls\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCOME OUT 2NITE – Kenickie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWE DON’T CARE – Shampoo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHARLOTTE’S PARTY – Peepshow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGOLDMINE - Spearmint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINELEGANTLY WASTED IN PAPA'S PENTHOUSE PAD IN BELGRAVIA - The Weekenders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDON'T TURN THIS LOVE INTO SORROW – World Of Leather \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOSEBLEED - Chest\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHANGE ME - Jocasta\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eENTERTAINMENT - Speedway\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLASTIC ASHTRAY - Urusei Yatsura\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMONICA WEBSTER - Delgados\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHER JAZZ – Huggy Bear\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTROPHY GIRLFRIEND – Heavenly \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSUPERMODEL-SUPERFICIAL – Voodoo Queens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC TWO\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLONDON GIRLS - Duffy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSOMETIMES THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT – The High Fidelity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINEVITABLE FAST ACCESS - Add N To X\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePIT STOP – VA6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMOOD MUSIC – We Are Pleb *\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTRIP POLKA - Velocette\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePIMLICO - David Devant And His Spirit Wife\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONKER FIGHT IN WENDY'S HOUSE – Sexton Ming And Steady\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRYSALIS - Pram\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVDT - Scala\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eON ME NOT IN ME – Earl Brutus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12.DAYDRE@MER (STUDENT UNION MIX) - Menswe@R * 13.EDIT LIFE FORM – Sound 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCURL UP - Sweetie\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEROLEEN - Bis\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCRAWL (RAW MIX) - Elizabeth Bunny *\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDO YOU ALWAYS DRESS LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLES GIRLFRIENDS – Mambo Taxi \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTEAL STEAL STEAL - Minxus\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJUDY GARLAND LIFE - Gretschen Hofner \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUNDERDOGS - Rialto\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RPM","offers":[{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50448684613963,"sku":"1093363","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1ca405f0-8656-44ed-b4e0-1bd444bdc2bc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727095127","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/super-sonics-40-junkshop-britpop-greats","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
