ZIG ZAG
RECORDS
Independent label: Zig Zag Records only hung around for long
enough to release a couple of singles. The first of them was 'Danger
Love', by the Vice Creems (ZZ-ZZ-001; 4/79), whose vocalist, Kris Needs, was the
chief editor of Zig Zag magazine. The second was the Addix's, 'Too Blind
To See' (ZZ-ZZ-002; 1979). Distributed By Zig Zag Records. The Vice Creems,
originally the Aylesbury Bucks, formed in Aylesbury in around mid – late 1977.
They were basically the vehicle for Zig-Zag Magazine editor (& former
teenage president of the Mott The Hoople fanclub) Kris Needs (vocals), his best
mate Colin Keinch (guitar) & Nigel Birchall – guitar, Chris Lugmayer – bass,
& Martin Godfrey – drums). Following sparodic gigging throughout late 77 –
early 78, they made their vinyl debut with a fairly typical punky track "No
Passion" on the "Aylesbury Goes Flaccid" local compilation LP. The Addix
was Rick Smith - vocals, George Lloyd - guitar, Alan Offer - bass, Ronnie
Griffen - drums. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
