Music Week 17/10/2009

At the time Britain’s premier rock’n’roll revivalists, Showaddywaddy accumulated 23 hits between 1974 and 1982, scoring their solitary number one with Under The Moon Of Love but also enjoying four number twos and a run of seven straight top five hits along the way. Although most of their bigger hits were indeed covers, they also penned many of their own early hits, including Hey Rock & Roll, Heavenly and Hey Mr Christmas. They are still fondly remembered, as evidenced by the fact that the 7Ts label has issued all 12 of their original albums on CD since 2000. For those who only want the hits, however this is a perfect low-cost solution, with every one of those hits sequenced back to back.
