BOB – KIRSTY (PLUS THREE)

This one comes courtesy of its inclusion in the C88 box set, issued by Cherry Red Records in 2017.

BOB have had a couple of mentions before, both within a period of 18 days in June 2018.  The first post focussed on the debut EP, What A Performance, while the second post on a later single, Convenience, was triggered by some comments left behind at the time of the first post.

I’m now getting round to drawing attention to the band’s second EP, released on Sombrero Records in June 1988:-

mp3: BOB – Kirsty

The C88 book notes very accurately describe this one as being yet another wonderful example of BOB’s talents for lilting, fey, melodic songs.

Here’s the three other tracks on the EP:

mp3: BOB – The Hippy Goes Fishing
mp3: BOB – Banwell Blues No.2
mp3: BOB – Times Like These

I’m beginning to really kick myself for not knowing about BOB back in the day…..there’s a real warmth and happiness to their brand of pop music.

Addendum

This is just a complete coincidence…..but it does indeed look like perfect planning.

I’ve contributed a guest posting to the wonderful No Badger Required blog that has been published today.  It’s all about the late Kirsty MacColl.  Click here if you’d like to read it.
