RARE UK VINYL album of THE SULLIVANS
PRIVATE PRESSING on their own label
Formed by Jo Clack in Harlow, Essex, UK in 1985. Vocals/guitar – Jo(e) Clack , Vocals - Sally Larkin , Bass - Heath Simpson , Drums - Bob Porter 

Only one album was released on their own label in 1986. Contributed track to 'Not Just Mandela' LP on Davy Lamp records in same year. Supported the Stone Roses in 1988 at Dingwalls and gigged around London and the South East. Supported early on by Steve Lamacq . 
Disbanded in 1988.

Jo Clack has collaborated with long time songwriting partner Paul Howard of the Tender Trap. Also formed his own group Fledge from 1996-2004.  2007 released Blake Songs album and 2014 Time Gentlemen both with Paul Howard.

Sally Larkin is a singer, songwriter and music educator with a soulful, jazzy vocal sound with many collaborations / musical achievements under her belt.

A (foreign) reviewer of the album said: One of the mysterious and brilliant Indie-Pop bands that raised during the glorious 80s to make only one stunning release (in this case a self-release) before they vanished back again into the blue. Formed in 1985 in Harlow, Essex by Joe Clack, Sally Larkin, Heath Simpson and Bob Porter , they only made the eight-songs LP The Sullivans 12'', on their own label (Blue Water Records) in 1986. Amazing and beautiful jangle combined with soulful girl/boy vocals and an occasional piano.

Ours is a smoke-free home. I do have pets but I don't let them smoke or play my records or CDs.

I am in the process of listing my records, cassettes, CDs, music videos and books purchased in over 40 years of collecting. This will include loads of promotional material and limited editions. I have a full time job and this is a hobby so it will take forever to list everything I have. If you see an item by a particular group / artist that you like, chances are I will have other items by them. Keep checking back or use the contact seller option if there are any particular items that you are looking for and would like me to list sooner rather than later.


I have thousands of records ( 7" , 12" singles and albums) and thousands more CDs (singles and albums). I have hundreds of cassettes but will probably not list many unless they are requested. A lot of the music videos are VHS promo copies I obtained from a shop that used to sell MTV cast offs so are genuine record company promos sent to TV stations to plug their release.
Overseas: I will combine postage if you win more than one item that can be shipped in the same packaging. If you win more than one item please wait to receive an invoice before paying to receive your postage discount.
