Detour Records are at it again - bringing you the very best in the ‘79 Mod Revival!! Following on from our hugely successful ‘Chords’ ‘Fast Cars’ and ‘Incredible Kidda Band’ releases we are now extremely proud to bring an (almost) complete career oversight of one of the earliest and best Mod Revival bands - Long Tall Shorty!!!

Formed in 1978 and originally known as ‘The Indicators’ the band went on tour with the ‘Angelic Upstarts’ where they attracted the attentions of Jimmy Pursey who signed the band to his ‘JP Productions’ label and suggested a name change to ‘Long Tall Shorty’.

The band played extensively all over the country and soon became one of the brightest lights in the burgeoning Mod Revival scene with music papers, fanzines and fans everywhere raving about their powerful live shows. This was ‘real’ music - pile-driving R&B tinged Mod that led to the band releasing several singles - the debut single ‘By Your Love’ that came out on the ‘Warner Bros’ label was withdrawn with only 200 copies rumoured to be sold. The band’s second release ‘Win Or Lose’ on the ‘Ramkup’ label is one of the main collectables on the Mod / Punk collectors circuit and now regularly fetches up to £100.00. The band soldiered on until the Mid 80's and called it a day in 1985.

Now, what we have here is an extensive over-view of the bands career. The first disc features the album that the band recorded for Warner Bros back in 1979 that was to be ‘1970's Boy’ but was withdrawn at the last minute - a real treat in itself! The second disc features rare and previously unreleased tracks from the band’s history and is a great insight for fans into some great recordings. Also featured is the rare single ‘Anti CND’ that the band released under the name ‘Joe Public’ for fear of a backlash!! Coming with great packaging on both formats with heaps of rare photos and liner notes by Tony Perfect and Eddie Piller this is a real treat of a release!!
