The Mel-O-Tones - s/t MLP


Here's the first release of The Mel-O-Tones from Liverpool. Sounds quite different than the 'Melonheaded' 12". Perhaps it has to do that this one was 'recorded in glorious monophonic'. It gives a raw touch. Actually this is a 12" as it plays on 45RPM but it is listed in the LP category of Probe Plus Records.
Here's a bit more from the Headheritage review:
The general production quality is on a par with the Electric Eels and is likewise all the better for it and distinctly non-eighties.'Burton buzz' manages to constantly sound on the verge of falling apart and rip the shit out of Simon le Bon at the same time.What more could you ask for?

The Mel-O-Tones - Melonheaded 12"


The 'Melonheaded' 12" is the second release of The Mel-O-Tones. First one is the 'Bomb Sutra' mini album.
They were from Liverpool and both records were released on local label Probe Plus.
Here's what reviewer Cleveland wrote on The Mel-O-Tones on Julian Cope's Headheritage site:
Their music was primarily a collision of Beefheart and wracked psychobilly but genuinely stranger again. Singer Frank Martin could growl out the acid lyrics with true Van Vliet abandon, whilst Martin Dempsey's guitar sliced your head off.
After the band split up, some members formed the Walking Seeds.
There are 2 different versions of 'Happy Hour'. The record comes with a small comics booklet which I included in the file.
