Comments on: Boys Wonder - Now What Earthman - 1987 - Sire http://www.iamnotthebeatles.com/?p=189 Where Every Record Cost Me 8 Pence Sun, 05 Sep 2010 12:57:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Tim A http://www.iamnotthebeatles.com/?p=189#comment-39988 Tim A Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:02:13 +0000 http://www.iamnotthebeatles.com/?p=189#comment-39988 I first heard a snippet of this song when I saw a feature on some Channel 4 magazine programme where Voice of the Beehive were running through their favourite bands of the time. They only featured the first verse of the song, and never mentioned the title, so after buying a couple of their singles in the hope that they were Earthman, I gave up. After 22 years, I now know the name, and have finally heard the rest of the track. Brilliant stuff, and years ahead of its time. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a copy one of these days, as I can't even find an MP3 of this. Great site, by the way.

Why not write to Seymour Stein at Sire and suggest a greatest hits reissue? Sorry to retract the offer following legal advice.

Remember what we were promised? Well, we were promised the "Sex Beatles"(It's in there somewhere). That was the phrase that Creation's PR department had managed to get the press to use; the "Sex Beatles". Let's face it, which self-respecting journalist wouldn't have jumped on the phrase? It promised the best of two of our most iconic acts: the swagger, punky attitude and insouciance of The Sex Pistols, and the wonderful pop melodies of The Beatles- perfection! But what did we get? Well, we certainly didn't get The Sex Beatles. In fact, after we'd got about halfway through "Definately Maybe", there were a great many people who'd realised we'd actually been sold The Eater Clark Five. Damn. What fools we all were then, not to notice that the "Sex Beatles" had actually happened a few years before... ***** The Eater Clark Five - still makes me chuckle :-) The excellent ‘Down with Tractors’ featured ‘Shine On Me’ a little while ago, with similar sentiment on Oasis:
