Girls At Our Best - "Fast Boyfriends"

Hailing from the Leeds area, Girls At Our Best had a couple of indie hits in the U.K. in 1980, and couple more in 1981 including "Fast Boyfriends" (Happy Birthday Records). They released the "Pleasure" album containing a free "Pleasure" bag then broke up in 1982. Singer Judy Evans, the only girl in the band, has a distinctive trill that may take some getting used to but is worth the effort. D. Carl Harper played Drums, Gerard Swift, Bass and James Alan, who went on to play Psycho-rockabilly with Tall Boys, played Guitar. Thomas Dolby is credited with playing synthesiser and Flood was in the studio as the engineer. This is another "Lost Band" that was rediscovered in 1994 when Vinyl Japan rereleased "Pleasure" on CD which quickly went out of print but if you must have it(!) get it at GEMM.
