DOGS - The Melodies Massacre Years LP

Highly recommended.

SOLD OUT AT THE SOURCE.

Another of our favourite labels come through with the goods again! Since resuming proceedings, Jeremy (formerly of Sing Sing) uncovers the coolest sounds - The Comets, Steve Starlust, Cassie, The Jacks and now, Dogs.

It took Rouen, France over five-hundred-years to find an act as fiery as the execution of Joan of Arc, but they finally found one in the Year Of Our Lord 1977: Dogs. The absolute picks-of-the-litter and best-in-French-new-wave-rock-show, Dogs (no ‘the’), over the course of nine albums, two dozen singles and EP’s left behind an undeniable legacy, none fiercer than on their first recordings for the Melodies Massacre label.

This collection compiles Dogs’ earliest releases: the ‘Charlie Was A Good Boy’ 45 and ‘Go Where You Want To Go’ 12 inch maxi-single. Fully and officially licensed from Melodies Massacre for the first time, including notes from Melodies Massacre founder Lionel Herrmani and featuring many never-before-seen photos from the band’s halcyon days, this compilation serves as the definitive portrait of the artists as young Dogs. A must for fans of all music, but especially Eddie And The Hot Rods, the early Scientists, the Flamin’ Groovies, and the Heartbreakers.

Rouen, France got that Dog in ‘em – now you can as well!
