Busy Bee Productions Vinyl & CDs

Review: Taking their cues and inspiration from their earlier peers in The Nomads, Stockholm, Sweden's psychedelic garage rockers Cornflake Zoo were active for a brief period in the mid to late-1980s, releasing just a small handful of singles and EPs during their short tenure. Knights Of Fuzz offers up a definitive compilation of the (unfairly) lesser-known garage gurus, including their Hey Conductor and Just A Game 7" singles, released in 1985 and 1987 respectively, while also featuring their 1986 The End Of The Beginning 12" EP in its entirety, along with a few unearthed bonus cuts for good measure. Jagged, bluesy, chaotic buzzing guitars twisted into jangle-pop refrains, Cornflake Zoo truly were the Scandinavian knights of fuzz that time forgot.

Review: The Prisoners' Hurricane from Busy Bee Productions is a thrilling ride through the best of this iconic Kentish psych'n'soul band. With tracks like 'Whenever I'm Gone' and 'Melanie' exuding raw emotion, and 'Nobody Wants Your Love' showcasing their unrelenting groove, the album is a rollercoaster of Hammond-fueled power and electric guitar energy. Side 2 keeps the intensity high with anthems like 'Better In Black' and the instrumental frenzy of 'Revenge Of The Cybermen,' reminding us why The Prisoners still captivate listeners today.
