Marionette had a single and songs on the "Trash On Delivery" comp. They had a full lenth album called "Blonde Secrets and Dark Bombshells". None of this is available on legit CD, but it is out there on the trade circuit thanks to a fan who wanted the stuff available to people since he spent years trying to get ahold of the damn album.
The Babysitters had a self-titles full length release and also I believe they also appeared on the aforementioned TOD release. Plus there was a video release. Buttz is a member of this board and will show up from time to time, so he can clarify more.
Plus we have members here who will be able to give much more indepth info on the single releases than myself, and numerous people here to recollect memories of the time period. Do a search and you will find great stuff. Paul Blittz is also one of our members and lucky for us, his mind remains intact and has some great tales to tell.
If I recall correctly, Pet Hate were a revamped version of Silverwing.
Yep Marrionette supported Pet Hate at Dudley JB's.I have the tape I did at the gig.
There was an Album by Marrionette that was released on the same day as The Babysitter's Album and on the same label.They also released a 12" Single which had a couple of extra songs on it. Obviously the singer Ray Zell went on to other things but you wouldn't of thought he would of managed it the night I saw him in Dudley , out of his head from what I recall. The drummer Pig filled in for the Babysitter's at one point.
I have the 2 Pet Hate Albums on vinyl. Not a bad band. Have some video footage somewhere also.
The Babysitter's put out 1 album... The Babysitter's. Brilliant Stuff
A 12" Single/EP Live at The Marquee.
And there is also the video of the same name!
They appeared on the Trash On Delivery Album....
And also on The Rock Pretty Album.. Both of which were Compilation Albums.
And there was a Double B side single which never saw the light of Day..... Shout/ The Bathroom Song!! Still stashed away in an Attic somewhere!!???!!
so much stuff to get Mp3'd and transfered to dvd!!???
The Grip were another band that were around at the same time as these 3 bands..... along with Napalm Hearts (another I need to transfer to Mp3) Wrathchild, Aunt May, The Dog's D'Amour, The Gunslingers, Torme' Hanoi Rocks, amongst many others.
Oh the memories!!??!!!

Thanks for all of the replies!.Need to know some more things.
The name of that Marionette 12" and the songs that enclose."Rock Pretty" compilation got different versions of Marionette and Babysitters songs? or same versions that their records?
The Grip, Napalm Hearts ,Gunslingers and Fridayz Angels discographies could be cool
Thanks you

Cool Andy, i wait for your reply.
Thanks
Yes the 12" is here in my hands and has the following track Listing:
On A Night Like This. (same as album)
My Baby Suxx (Alternate Version).
Little Johnny Rockstar.
Rock Pretty Tracks were recorded before the Album soa are different as were The Babysitter's and The Grip tracks that appeared on this album.
I'm afraid I only vaguely remember Pet Hate, so can't help on that front. Marionette is a different matter though. Apart from Ray (the Robin Zander of Islington) and Pig (who was only in the band because he 'had a van' and 'could drive'), they featured Ray's brother KK on bass and the amazing Dave Veal on guitar. Their gigs were frankly indescribable. I don't have a copy of that 12 inch single though, although I think it may well have been their 'cover' of the Kiss song 'Is That You'. It did exist though because I have bootleg of a gig at Dingwalls where Ray says 'I've got a twelve incher out at the moment. What are you all looking down there for?'. Forget Iggy, Stiv, Monroe etc - Ray inspired me more than anyone I think!
As for the Babysitters, I have a 7 inch single of 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' that I don't think anyone's mentioned. Oh, and I think those Rock Pretty tracks are different from the album versions. Could be wrong though...

Thanks again for give me some light!
I understand that The Grip just released one record "Be Yourself".Gunslingers released two records "S/T" and "For My Mom" and Napalm Hearts and Fridayz Angels never released a record(LP).Am i right?
Would like to know what do you think of the Gunslingers records?
Can somebody answer my last e-mail please?.I looked around for Napalm Hearts records and found nothing, and i heard there were two bands named Gunslingers?
Napalm Hearts appeared on the Rock Pretty Album and put out a demo which I have.
Gunslingers never released anything as far as I know. There was an appearance on a TV show which I also have.
I'm not aware of any Gunslingers releases either. The show they were on was ECT - they covered 'Shake Some Action' if I remember correctly.
The Grip were also on ECT - they were last-minute replacements for Hanoi Rocks, who were in the process of splitting up. There are other Grip releases apart from the album too. For example the 'England You're Dead' EP, which I have somewhere at home.
Yep I have the England EP, as do some of you on here now (on MP3).
Yeah I have The Grip playing on ECT... 3 songs in all! On an old video tape waiting to put onto DVD! Priceless!!??
Torme, Waysted and the New Torpedos (after Phil Lewis was with Them)
Fuck, ECT, what a great show that was! Anyone got any more on vid? I only have the first episode (with Motorhead, Madam X and the Lords Of The New Church).
As I said Lee I have
I recall The Grip also released a couple of singles on Survival records (Quireboys label before emi).
Teenage Bride was the first, and American Dream followed before the band split up.
PS. wasn't Ray Zell in the Marionettes?
Hey Roadcrew, I have the said singles.
Anyone heard of a band called The Young Offenders?
Willie produced the band's single and also played and did backing vocals.
I recently got sent the MP3z of the recording. Just wondered what happened to the band.
The New Torpedos(with Phil Lewis) released any record?

I think that they split before recording!
Roadcrew, the legendary Ray Zell was the frontman for the aforementioned Marionette. 'The Marionettes' was a different, completely unrelated, band. Unfortunately Ray cut his musical 'career' short to concentrate on journalism. I remember him telling me that he initially wanted to be in a band because at gigs everyone would want to suck up to people in bands. Then he noticed that the people in the bands always used to suck up to music journalists!
I never agreed with his philosophy though, as I found that 95% of music journalists were total c@nts.
<font size="4" face="Arial">The Young Offenders were a good 70s style glam band with a great frontman. Unfortunately they were dropped by the record company in 99 & split up soon afterwards.Quote:

The singer Ciaran MacFeely now fronts a project called Simple Kid.
The (UK) Gunslingers released a 7" single Never A Dull Moment / Shake Some Action on their own Ego label. It's pretty impossible to get - at least for a price that doesn't make you sell your house for it. There's one copy there for those of you with too much extra dough [img]wink.gif[/img]
http://www.vtmusic.co.uk/vtartlist.a...st=Gunslingers
I seem to remember that Paul Hornby (Dogs D'Amour & Quireboys) and Steve James (Dogs again) were members at some point at least.
<font size="4" face="Arial">Cheers for the lesson Blittz. I don't know if both of my remaining braincells function too well these days - certainly not at the same time anyway! Maybe there's a career in journalism for me then?Quote:

I have yet to copy to DVD. One of those chores I keep meaning to do.
Will dig out the vid and check what's on it and leave out as a reminder to copy. Time is short this side of Xmas though and Our trip to Thailand takes us up to the beginning of Feb 2005.
Bands that I recall on it That I have were:
Lords o t Newchurch, Madame X, Torme, Gunslingers, Grip, Waysted, Tarazara, Phil Lynott
What about the Dirty Strangers? Sleazegrinder mention them in the Last Of The Teenage Idols article in the same league that Kill City Dragons, Soho Roses,Quireboys and Wrahchild!!.Please let me know what king of band were they and if they did any recordings.
Thanks again
(more questions)
Blittz, could you tell me the B side of the Babysitters single "Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'.?.Also,that song is same version that the "Trash On Delivery" version?
The Dirty Strangers were another Stones/Faces-type band. Damn good barroom rock 'n' roll.

The Single was a Double 'B' Side and featured 'I Wanna Be On The TV' as the 2nd Song!
E-mail me and you can have a copy of the Advert for the single!

I'll have to dig out that Babysitters single - I can't remember what was on the other side. It may well have been a double 'A' side jobby. Maybe Buttz will beat me to it though and let you know beforehand.
I must also point out that Ray Zell was never in that '95%' bracket. On the contrary, he's one of the most charming little fuckers I've ever met and gave us our first big break by pursuading the then editor of Kerrang! to publish a live review. As it happened, we were abysmal that night and played the worst gig of our lives (and that's saying something!). Fortunately for us though, Ray has no taste whatsoever. He gave us a cracking review and that started the ball rolling. Lovely man.
