Music reviews of Bops Babes Booze & Bovver
Music Review: 'He'd Never Been Able To Shoot You If You'd Seen Him...'
Rating: 4 Stars
The Nipple Erectors and then (presumably under record company pressure and delusions of respectability) the Nips, were Shane MacGowan's first group and this is a cracking little collection of ultra-rare cuts which initially appeared as singles and lp tracks way back in the late 70's.
It's a colourful, angry, Stonesy sound with irresistibly twangy rockabilly guitar, and it'll come as a surprise to those familiar with MacGowan's slurry (and VASTLY over-rated!) later work, to hear him here - alert and alive, coming on like a junior Adam Faith with clarity and direction.
As was de rigeur at the time, this is a caveman music, bold and true. Some of MacGowan's lyrics are sure to raise an eyebrow in these killjoy PC times;
"Just shut up and lay on the bed,
When I'm finished with you I'm gonna break his head.."
Long-lost singles 'Gabrielle' and 'All the Time in the World' are high-points, but there's a rough and tuneful quality to most of 'Bops, Babes, Booze and Bovver'.
It's a bit short, but makes up for that with consistency and passion, and there's a brill picture of the band in Teddy-boy gear (just on their way to slash some cinema seats no doubt - and Gordon in the Government thinks knife crime is a new thing..), MacGowan looking not a day over 12 but still sewer-fungus ugly, is worth the (ridiculously cheap) price alone.
Looking at the seconds-from-death-shambles he is now, it's nice to see him bouncy and agile, launching himself and his crazy harmonica into this ultra-cool and pumped-up selection.
As yer man says: (without the merest hint of an Irish accent...!)
"Just lie back and think of England,
Gonna put my hands on you.."
You can treat his brilliantly cavalier cd in the same disrespectful fashion.
Description of Bops Babes Booze & Bovver
Issued on CD for the first time ever, this the complete studio recordings of this legendary punk outfit, founded and fronted by a pre-Pogues Shane MacGowan and "woman they couldn't hang" Shanne Bradley. The Nips' exhilarating blend of punk, garage and rockabilly is sometimes neglected in the wake of the later achievements of Shane and Shanne. This short, sharp, low-price, 10-track CD should more than put that to rights. Features both sides of each of the group's three original Soho Records singles, and two tracks that were unissued prior to the 1987 vinyl issue of this material.Alternative Rock CDs
