THE NOSEBLEEDS - Ain't Bin To No Music School 7'' 1977

Rare vinyl by this short-lived combo and they were formed in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England 1976 under the name of Wild Ram. Changed their name to Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds in early 1977 with the following line-up: Edmund 'Ed Banger' Garrity (vocals), Vincent 'Vini' Reilly (guitar), Phillip 'Toby' Tomanov (drums), and Pete Crooks (bass). In late 1977 Billy Duffy replaced Vini Reilly and Morrissey replaced Ed Banger and subsequently they shortened the group's name to the Nosebleeeds. Ed Banger ended up in a later incarnation of Slaughter & The Dogs while Vini Reilly formed Durutti Column. Pete Crooks and Toby Toman continued on as the Nosebleeds. "Billy knew this guy Morrissey, who ran the New York Dolls Fan Club and wrote lyrics - and got him to join the group, although he had never sung before. The pair of them dumped all the group's old songs and wrote an entirely new set like 'Peppermint Heaven' and 'I Think I'm Ready For The Electric Chair'. The audience was perplexed; it was a strange band!" - Pete Frame, 1989. However, in his autobiography Morrissey denied ever being a member of the band. He claims that Duffy recruited him after the break up of the Nosebleeds and they wrote songs together. For their live performances they hadn't decided on a band name. They roped in the rhythm section of the Nosebleeds and Paul Morley used this name for a live review. 

The Nosebleeds did two gigs one at the Ritz [support to Magazine] and a Rabid Records benefit at the Manchester Polytechnic before dissolving in May of 1978. After the group split up Morrissey went on to form the Smiths, Toby joined Blue Orchids, and Pete Crooks joined up with Vini Reilly in Durutti Column. The A-side was booked on numerous compilations but the flip I like better.

V/A - Streets 1977

"Select Highlights From Independent British Labels" and what an amazing LP this it. This glorious Compilation was released by Beggars Banquet Records and contains 17 Bands/17 Songs. I wonder each time how many fantastic bands make music in the early days where punk was new & the hype grows high. Here as well. Most bands have perhaps only one song released or an EP and some other (Slaughter & The Dogs or The Reaction, were later known as the pop band Talk Talk) became famous. And for me this music from the early days is pure, wild, aggressive and honest by comparison with today where much scrap is produced, yeah... I love this record - So get this Nugget and you know what I mean. Awesome Stuff!!!!!
