White vinyl 5 track 10 inch EP. “Imagine the Buzzcocks with Syd Barrett as the singer!" Originally released as The Bachelor Pads’ swansong single in 1991, Emotional Response have re-released this pop gem, as an accompaniment to the “Best Of” compilation LP. 5 songs, white wax, in a faux “Blue Note Records” styled sleeve and label, featuring a previously unheard stripped back piano mix of “Jenny Brown” and the full length 8 minute version of “Do It For For”. THE BACHELOR PAD : five lysergically-enhanced heads from Strathbungo, Glasgow. Psychedelic punks born into, but delightfully out of step with the C86 fanzine culture of the time. Flashes of red and purple… Perfect pop buried amidst a nuclear maelstrom of noise and excitement. During their brief existence they burned bright, squeezing out an album, 5 singles and a flexi-disc, with the cream of the crop being served up on this career spanning compilation. “…amid the sonic bedlam, they write the sweetest melodies, they’ve got the most agreeable harmonies. It’s all about extremes: “Do It For Fun” is the noise your brain makes when everything you’ve taken comes on top at once; “Tumble And Fall” is as cute as a squirrel’s nut, "The Coroner’s Wife” is…. well, answers on a postcard, please.” Alexis Petridis…
