[Music] Bands that lost out to the label-mate, but were cracking

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

On the Liberty label, losing out to Led Zep, I give you High Tide. The violinist, Simon House, later found lack of fame with Hawkwind:

Oh praise the lord, we must be finally scrapping the bottom of the 'music threads' barrel,

On E'G records, losing out to Killing Joke are the delightful Redbeat

The two Jones Brothers went on to fame as the backing band for their brother, Howard. Redbeat sound nothing like....

I have hardly started.....I still have 'Spanish Darkwave' and 'bands I've seen who have a member who shagged someone I know' up my sleeve. For example

Get with it, daddy-o. You're sooooo square

Exactly when did Led Zep record and be credited as Led Zep on Liberty?

Funnily enough, they performed together uncredited on a PJ Proby B Side on Liberty, but that's probably a bit too much of a stretch!

The great Propaganda, over-shadowed by also-great ZTT label-mates FGTH. Tsk!

Yes, too much.

Responsible for some of my most favourite lyrics. I give you:

On joyless lanes we walk in lines
a calm but steady flow.
Accompanied by loud commands
our strength is running low.

The Late Anthony Wilson's Favourite Band, great guitarist but as you can hear he should have been banned from trying to sing...

Ah Simon House, swapped the street cred squat lifestyle of Hawkwind for a few years fiddling with David Bowie. Bet his pension pot is a bit healthier than those of Dave Brock or Nik Turner.

Although I started this thread with an error, the outcomes have been great fun.

The Some Bizarre label was great at finding talent, straight away discovering the brilliant; Soft Cell, Depeche Mode and The The. Whilst these unlucky contempories never really ‘made it’.

Put him on IGNORE

Then you’ll be missing out on brilliant music.
