This is "Bizarros" debut single which was four track ep released in 1976 on Gorilla Records. Another excellent donation from the Bruce Rhodes collection. "Bizarros" were from Akron, Ohio and formed in 1976, their music was compared to "The Velvet underground" and you will see why with the nearly spoken vocals, and the excellent guitar riffs. No picture cover for this one.First up is the brilliant "Lady Doubonette" my favourite track of the four, the guitar riffs just get stuck in your head and you will be humming them for ages afterwards. Second up is "I Bizarro", on the first listen this was my least favourite but I'm changing my mind as I'm listening to it. "Without a Reason" is another little gem, dam there all so good and different it's difficult to choose. Last up "Nova" sounds a bit more punk (but still very Velvet Underground).
I give up I can't choose, so why don't you all listen, choose one track and leave a comment, and we can see which one is most liked.

If you like this I'm sad to say that their back catalogue (follow this link to Bizarros home page) does not appear to be available any longer, but on the same link you will see that they are planning on releasing some new material soon.
