Too Much - Silex Pistols - Pathé 2C 008 14575 - 1978

It appears that a repeat of Plastic Bertrand's success was attempted here, as two people who worked on An 1 were hired to make this record. Two thirds of the Belgian latin-disco trio 'Two Man Sound' Yves Lacomblez and Sylvain Vanholme have writing and production credits on this record. The third member of 'Two Man Sound,' Lou Deprijck, who is allegedly responsible for the vocals on Ca Plane Pour Moi due to an absent Plastic Bertrand wasn't brought in for this record I assume because the label wanted to try a female vocalist angle. Cathy and Cherry Pickels, pictured on the sleeve, wrote the lyrics and sang on this record. Apparently the nickname 'Cathy Too Much' was where the band name came from.

A few lines of Silex Pistols, when poorly translated, say something along the lines of:

"Crazy rock'n'roll girls,
We're the cops to Dan Mac Roll"

I'm not sure what this Dan Mac Roll reference means exactly, but Dan Mac Roll is the singer credited as Dan Dee on one of the (if not thee) first Belgian punk records, Chainsaw's 'See Saw.' Also, Lacomblez mentions that the name 'Athanase' is spoken in the lyrics because he was a real punk and he offered them food if they'd put his name in the song.
