THE WHEELS "Road Block" (Big Beat WIKD305)
Brand new limited edition vinyl LP.
Rave ups don’t come any wilder than ‘Road Block’ by the Wheels, who keep the party going on this collection of their complete output, 1965-1966. Tough, shouting R&B vocals and crunching riffs from Belfast’s other great combo.
‘Road Block’ and ‘Bad Little Woman’ are garage-beat classics of which anyone raised on Pebbles albums will be very familiar. The Wheels, however, were not American; they were from Northern Ireland. Yet their band original ‘Bad Little Woman’ was picked up by Chicago garage deities the Shadows Of Knight, and in contrast they covered Paul Revere & the Raiders’ ‘Kicks’. Don’t even get me started on the feral intensity of their beat-punk opus ‘Road Block’.
Big Beat’s new Wheels collection comprises the A and B-sides of their three singles, released across 1965 and 1966, plus the remaining sessions they cut at Regent Sound; this is their album, its great period design making up for the fact that these talented young men didn’t get to release one first time round.
Packaged in front-laminated sleeve—factory-sealed from new!
