The Freshies - Very Very Best Of

Chris Sievey formed this unique band in the mid 70's.  They are characterised by one of their singles: "I'm In Love With The Girl On The Manchester Virgin Megastore Check-out Desk" (later it was renamed with the word 'Virgin' removed).  He found fame as Frank Sidebottom but that was about it.  Real pity as you will like everything on this compilation (subtitled 'Some Long and Short Titles').  Totally infectious and ignored.

    I put this in my MP3 player awhile back and just now got around to listening to it. Very enjoyable. I suppose it would be considered New Wave. I see some similarities to Secrets*, another group from that general era.

    One of the guys who played in this band, Mike Doherty, came from an equally enjoyable band called The Smirks. They had trouble with their record label and never came out with a full album.
