CLOCKWORK
RECORDS
Independent label: from the Punk / New Age
years. Clockwork was founded by Edward Ball; it released at least two 7"
records: an EP entitled 'The Dry Season', by Dry Rib (COR-01; 5/79), featuring
'Alaska' and two other tracks; and a single, '(There's A) Cloud Over
Liverpool', by the Teenage Filmstars (COR-002; 9/79), both of which tend to be
filed under 'Post Punk'. The Teenage Filmstars record appears to have
been pressed in France - quite a few small companies had their pressings
done there around that time. Dry Rib were a band formed in 1978. Originally
they were a 3-piece featuring Rob Vasey on guitar, Mike Mulholland on bass and
Andrew Goodwin on drums, based in London. In 1979. Later that year Rob Vasey
left the band and the line-up was extended to include Bernie Martin on guitar,
Joni Dee Sackett on vocals, Paul Kendall on alto saxophone and Ray Kent on
keyboards. Vasey went on to form a band called As Hem Syrup in the early 1980s
which was followed by Sinking Sun King a couple of years later. Teenage
Filmstars are an English, post punk, independent, psychedelic 1980s-90s band, formed in 1979 by
Edward Ball, Daniel
Treacy and Joseph Foster. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
