From 1979 to 1982, The Records<\/strong> made history with three albums…Shades In Bed<\/em><\/strong>, released in the USA as The Records<\/em><\/strong> (1979), Crashes<\/em><\/strong> (1980), and Music On Both Sides<\/em><\/strong> (1982). Rhythm guitarist John Wicks<\/strong> and drummer Will Birch<\/strong> formed the band following the breakup of The Kursaal Flyers<\/strong>, adding lead guitarist Huw Gower<\/strong> and bassist Phil Brown<\/strong>. This was the lineup for their first album, which included two of their best-known tracks, “Starry Eyes”<\/em><\/strong> and “Teenarama,”<\/em><\/strong> both of which were released as singles. Several lineup changes occurred over the course of the next two albums, which were followed by various U.S. and International re-releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
