Roberto Fera - Shock Rock - Jezabel Records ‎JR 104 - 1980

This depressed looking Roberto Fera looks a lot like the depressed looking fellow in Eau De Cologne, which he produced, so it probably is him. And I wonder if he's also the "punk guy" pictured on the 'Pretend' single by Souvenir which is also on the Jezabel label. It appears that all of his other music credits are for disco music. And all of his modelling credits are for looking bored and down in the dumps.

Naold 'n Draod - Nettie ('k Zie Oe Geerne) - Safety Pin SRS 510.036 - 1978

This is on Safety Pin records, which would indicate that someone thought this record could fall somewhere in the neighborhood of punk music. I'm not sure how they wanted to convey the record's punk qualities, since the sleeve doesn't seem to indicate anything of the sort. The A side 'Nettie ('k Zie Oe Geerne)' translates as 'Nettie (I Love You) and the B side is apparently a phoenetic spelling of what translates to something like 'Try It Yourself.' Since it's instrumental, I assume they wanted the listener to sing along.

Colin Malice - J'y Pense Et J'oublie Pas - CBS ‎6313 - 1978

Colin Malice was a pseudonym adopted for just one single by two corny pop-singing brothers knows as Les Costa. The A side is a cover of the Carvells' skateboarding-themed 'L.A Run', instead with lyrics about a girl and her four brothers getting in the way. Side B gives half the writing credit to 'swinging mademoiselle' Dominique Cozette and the production to her former boyfriend Patrice Fabien. Patrice, interestingly enough also produced Edith Nylon as well as WC3's 'Poupée Be Bop' and went on to produce a bunch of stuff for the Reflexes label as well as his own Fabien Garage.

Sublime De Luxe - Donne-Moi Ton Corps Juste Pour Le Sport - Flamophone ‎781.807 - 1979

Claude Puterflam was the Le Système Crapoutchik singer and founder of the Flamophone label as well as Studio Gang. Jean Schultheis was a drummer, keyboardist and songwriter on everything from jazz to psychedelic rock, and even made a Tele Music library record. Sublime Deluxe was their first collaboration. Chose Molle, or Soft Thing, is a pretty deadly version of Wild Thing. But, the real winner here is the B side. Donne-Moi Ton Corps Juste Pour Le Sport, roughly translated as Give Me Your Body Just For Sport, has a gross title, but is one of the best Plastic Bertrand rip-offs.

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.

Andy Cameron - I Want To Be A Punk Rocker - Klub Records 03 - 1978

Andy Cameron had a football hooligan comedy act and recorded Ally's Tartan Army because Scotland qualified for the world cup. I assume he recorded I Want To Be A Punk Rocker because he was not a fan, as some of the lyrics are:

"I want to be a punk when their music is forgotten
I'll still be there to strangle Johnny Rotten"

Tjot Idi & De Stipkes ‎- Ik Wil Punk - CBS 5848 - 1977

I wonder if any kids bought this and made it all the way home before looking at the back cover. Because if that didn't trigger severe buyer's remorse, then playing the record certainly would have.

De Kuffers - Ik Wil Punk! - Safety Pin ELF 65.129 - 1977

The ELF catalog number would suggest this was actually an Elf Provinciën release, but there are other instances of this Safety Pin label logo with completely different catalog numbers and on different labels, all of which seem to be under the Dureco or Dutch Record Company umbrella.

Ik Wil Punk (I Want Punk) ain't so bad, considering the other output by the writer/producer Adrianus Klaris.

Los Juveniles - Punk Mi Kier Punk - GM 001 - 1978

The band name and the graphics seem promising, but the outfits do a better job preparing you for what the record sounds like.

Cherry Vanilla - The Punk - RCA PB 5053 - 1977

Cherry Vanilla was brought from the US to the UK by The Police's manager, had her former US band members replaced by Sting and Stewart Copeland of The Police, and was supported on tour by the Police.
