Model Mania' were formed in late 1975 – three brothers, Jim (vocals), Rob (guitar) and Andy (drums).
They were later joined by Martin Beech (Boco) on bass. Within a month they did their first gig at Solihull College. Weeks later they played 'Rebecca’s' night club in Birmingham, also playing the same night were the 'Prefects', who became friends. The clubs main DJ Wayne Myers, became their manager the same evening, which meant a virtual residency at 'Barbarellas' in Birmingham, also DJ’d by Wayne.
In the next six months they played all over, the 'Roxy', 'The Vortex', 'Music Machine', 'Roundhouse' and 'Tiffany’s' (Coventry), playing with bands such as the 'Vibrators', 'Johnny Thunders', 'The Clash', The Slits', 'The Adverts', 'The Stranglers', 'Subway Sect' etc. Bernie Rhodes showed interest so they got on tour with the Clash.
In 1977 they made their first demo “No Pride” and 2 others “Shit” and “Glass”.
In 1979 they made a record and released it on their own 'Boob' label. When the records arrived back from the pressing plant the labels weren't quite ready so the band designed and made up a ink stamp and then stamped up 250 copies so that they could start selling them. Then one week later the labels arrived and the remaining 750 copies had proper labels stuck on. Then Boco decided to leave. They carried on but it was all over really. They came very close but not close enough, that’s the story, not the facts.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE BAND'S CAREER BASICALLY CONSISTED OF ONE SOLITARY SINGLE
THIS SINGLE I HAVE SEEMS TO HAVE ESCAPED THE INK STAMP THE BAND USED ON 250 COPIES, BUT ALSO HAS NO LABELS STUCK TO IT, POSSIBLY BELONGING TO A MEMBER OF THE BAND, OR A PRESSING PLANT COPY WHEN THE BAND RECEIVED THE INITIAL BATCH
THE SINGLE IS HOUSED IN A CARD COVER WITH THE MATRIX NUMBERS MATCHING THE RUN-OUT GROOVES ON THE DEAD WAX- HOPE THE INFO ABOVE HELPS TO CLEAR UP THE MYSTERY !
THE SINGLE WAS RELEASED ON THE UK BOOB LABEL IN 1979
THE SINGLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
