THE DIRECT HITS "Blow Up" 1984 (WHAAM Big 7)

ONE OF THE BEST MOD ALBUMS FROM THE 80s. ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON THE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE "WHAAM" LABEL IN 1984 AND HAS BECOME A VERY COLLECTABLE ALBUM.

"Good band, played my local, The Bridge House, Elephant & Castle once to about 12 people. As Monkey says, more 60's orientated rather than Mod. Colin used to play one of those Hofner Basses ala McCartney, the size of him made it look like a Ukelele! Prior to the Direct Hits, they were known as the Exits releasing a single called Fashion Plague c/w Cheam in 1978 on Lightening Records, though Brian wasn't in them at this stage." - Dave e
