man i really miss this type of stuff... I thought it was gone forever with my stolen music records and tapes... thank science for youtube and all the posting blokes with good taste!
pronatorgator says>>I was once told that Rolo McGinty would only allow people to play with The Woodentops if they were smaller than 5ft 9ins. If you watch this video you will see that the cameras are position to play down the difference in height between Rollo and the guitarist.
A unique band who often struggled to capture the raw energy of their live performances on their records. This one and Well Well Well came the closest.
OMG. My 12" of this was MELTED against a radiator (accidently) at a brilliant house party.... talk about gutted. Takes me back. COOL track - gets your adrenaline pumping!
Superb stuff - they blew me away at Brixton Academy in the 80's. Giant is their best effort by far. Still have the T shirt - even if it doesn't fit any more! I look forward to being 18 with them again soon.
good lord what happened to them after the jump to CBS. just think if all their output ran at this level... rollicking, twisted, damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also love the Woodentops. Veeeery unique, no other band like them. For the eighties, Wire, Woodentops, and Wall Of Voodoo were a blessing in originality. Also, Rolo McGinty has one of the sexiest most versatile voices in rock.
Great band

Any doubts why the 80's still the best music period on the face of the Earth?!
