V.A. - I Might Walk Home Alone

Various Artists
I Might Walk Home Alone
1992 Wilde Club Records

Wilde Club Records was an independent UK imprint helmed by Norwich club owner Dave Bates. Most of the releases from the early '90s label were 12" singles of bands that seemed to follow in the paths of The Stone Roses, Wedding Present and Ride. The label's two most prominent releases were the first two singles by Catherine Wheel ("She's My Friend" and "Painful Thing"), who would eventually sign with Fontana and attain wider success internationally as a respected cult band. The Bardots were the only other band of major notice to have released material on the label; the remainder of the outfits were pretty cut-rate. I Might Walk Home Alone is a compilation of the label's highlights, featuring Catherine Wheel's "She's My Friend" in its hazy original version (pretty much the only way to obtain it on CD), as well as The Bardots' just-as-swirly "Summerhouse." One obscuro that sticks out is the terrific "Bite the Apple" by Shine!, who approximate the fevered pop of early Wedding Present while adding ultra-melodic multi-part harmonies. What became of them? Blair 1523's "Take Me There" is hippie-ish Chapterhouse-lite, while the remainder of the bands stick to copycatting their record collections. Regardless of its patchiness, it's a decent compilation for those who can't get enough of that fuzzy stuff.

The Beat Club - Security

THE BEAT CLUB
Security
1990 Robs Records

The Beat Club started off in Miami in the late 80's as a studio project of producer Ony Rodriguez with his girlfriend and future-wife Mireya Valls on vocals. Their track ''Security'' drew influences from the Miami Bass sound and was successful enough to gain them a major label deal with Atlantic Records. Soon afterwards they moved to the UK and accepted an offer from Joy Division and New Order's manager, Rob Gretton to sign for his recently launched label, Rob's Records.

Security was first record released on Robs Records, remixed by Bernard Sumner, it was one of the biggest songs at Manchester legendary club Hacienda.

This Limited Edition CD - technically a fourth single from the supergroup's second album ''Raise The Pressure" - was never commercially available to buy in record shops however fans could purchase it exclusively via Electronic's official mailing list.
