Strawberry Switchblade

Strawberry Switchblade · 1984 · Flexi · GB · none

Issued in a wraparound sleeve. The flexi-disc is clear and square. Total running time is 6:11 From the artwork: "Strawberry Switchblade, as the name may suggest, are a walking contradiction. Small, frail, yet visually striking, the apparent prettiness of their songs belies the harsh reality of the lyrics. Like Macbeth's weird sisters the two seem to have sprung from the dark mists of Celtic faery. Their quiet, haunting ballads are sung in the best harmony voices since the Mamas and the Papas. Inside you will find a flexi-disc that features extracts from the girls debut album "[m=30441]" with an introduction by [a1281263]. Listen to it and you will realise that this is an album you must own."
