LIMITED EDITION, Soundflat exclusive!!! This version includes a STAGS neck scarf!!! "Gimme Some Sex-FIZZ" is arguably fair the motto of the STAGS from Wigan, Northwest England, the hometown of Northern Soul, of pies and of Uncle Joe's Minballs. But not only the motto assured us of admitting this squad about their charmaing singer Miss Topsy STAG to our small SOUNDFLAT RECORDS-family. This band, which has amongst others a tendency to Burlesque, Rock'N'Roll, Go-Go Dancing and French Ye-Ye, convinces with their independent interpretation of different music styles of the 60's era. Whether Sixties Garage, Beat, Mod- Instros, R&B, R'N'R or Power Pop, you can find all styles in the shakin'-groovy sound of the STAGS. The STAGS are driven through the unique groovy sound of the Hammond organ made by Reginald Steinway. Alone the way this instrument is played will bring every rear to shake, but is additionally supported by Mr. Murdo Gloves (Bass), Kenny Roquette (Drums), Conway Castle (Gitarre) and Singer Topsy Stag. If you want to describe the sound of the STAGS figuratively, you would possibly say: BANANA SPLITS meets THE MOHAWKS at Wigan-Bus-Station! The STAGS are probably musically inspired by artists like GEORGIE FAME, LULU, THE SONICS, JIMMY SMITH, SHOCKING BLUE, YOUNG RASCALS, THE SHADOWS or THE EASYBEATS. Besides the performance of Topsy's voice, the Stags provides extremely shaking instrumentals too. Then Topsy is shaking the tambourine or the maracash respectively is practisising the percussions. But some tracks are with chant, and that is the voice of Mr. Conway Castle. On the by SOUNDFLAT RECORDS released LP "DO THE TON" is e. g. the coversong "EVOLUTION REVOLUTION" from LANCELORD LINK & THE EVOLUTION REVOLUTIONS. This track has become popular through the TV-series of the "secret Chimp" Lancelord Link, who makes a trip in the psychedelic world of Pop! In addition you can find several coversongs like e. g. the Boogaloo-soul song "HOT DOG" by THE FOUR SHELLS, the R&B Monster-Track "CHICKEN NECKS" by DON & JUAN, the Dancfloor-Smasher "CAN'T STOP THE WANT" von SANDY SARJEANT, or the French Ye- Ye classic "MOUSTACHE A PAPA" by ANNA BELL, who also appears on the terrific GIRLS IN THE GARAGE VOL. 10 sampler. Apart from the coverversions there are of course ass-shaking, groovy self composed songs with Hammond-sound too like e. g. "TEXAS CAVE SALAMANDER", "TREE FINGER" and "SEX FIZZ". With "DO THE TON", which was already used as musical accompaniment for the first records of the SOUNDFLAT GIRLS - LYDIA & CATALINA, the STAGS show their predilection for speed and 60's Motocross-Machines. This subject acted as the template for the brilliant cover artwork too! With the 60's motocross subject, the idea of the gimmick enclosure (limited to only 200 exemplars), a printed muffler was born! This is only available by Soundflat: www.soundflat.de / www.soundflat-records.de and of course by the STAGS! If the STAGS will ever be grown-up is rather unlikely in considerance of their urge for fooling about. Above all this can be seen at their live shows, when they act as homely girls and milkmen, safari tourists, Monsterantic or what ever. The altogether 14 songs on the album are presented by the bizarre 60's performer GERRY SANDON, who has a speech defect with the letter "s". So he opens up the record with the words "SSSSSCISSOR…. SSSSSAUSAGES…. here is the SSSSSTAGS". After 2 single releases by ROTOSONIC RECORDS, which are not in stock by now, you can get their first longplayer by SOUNDFLAT RECORDS! Shake your body, move your ass, it's STAGS time: "60's Beat-Bash-Boogaloo, this ist the Stag- Ageddon!!"
