Come to the mushroom

The Prisoners 'A Taste Of Pink!' (1982)
Certainly one of Chatham's finest (and prolific), Graham Day and his gang bust out some raw, guitar 'n' organ-charged garage rock 'n' pop. Chock full of potent hooks and plenty of mod charm, put this on and play it till the morning light!

The good things!

The Prime Movers 'Sins of the Fourfathers' (1989, 2001)
"Formed from the ashes of the mega cult band ‘The Prisoners’ and ‘The James Taylor Quartet’, The Prime Movers’ only objective was to belt out some raw, powerful and fantastic Medway music again. In 1988 the band ran head-first into the nearest studio so that everything was still fresh. When the band emerged blinking into the sun what they had produced was one of the most legendary albums to spew forth from the Medway Garage scene. These are songs that are pissed off slabs of vicious bile that can only be produced by three talented artists who had been regularly shafted by the wankers in the music biz. This was music for music’s sake - and it’s stood the test of time brilliantly. This is a re-issue of the brilliant original UK release and NOT the slightly stinky German version that has overdubbed organ on it. Now the band have reformed under the guise of ‘The Solarflares’ to keep the spirit of raw, lively and enthralling music alive - so was this the first ‘Prime Movers’ album or the first ‘Solarflares’ album???" - Detour Records
