In 1982, Blackpool's Lightbeat Records released the "A Drop in The Ocean" EP in response to the Blackpool Rox EP featuring, amongst others, Section 25 and The Membranes. The EP featured two Blackpool bands highly regarded at the time: Zoo Boutique (wrongly named as "The Zoo Bootique" on the record) and The Velvasheens plus 4 other bands never heard of before or since at a time when Blackpool was a hotbed of talent such as Tunnelvision, The Tins, Sensible Shoes and One Way System. These are the contributions of those unknowns that we know nothing of:
Trapped (The Elite), Hold Me Back (The Frets), Love Is Ephemeral I Confess (Divert Off Centre) and Titian Head (Pure Pink Paraffin)
The tracks by Zoo Boutique and Velvasheens from the A Drop in The Ocean EP are are available on this channel separately.
