Being Cold Jill Bryson and Rose McDowell formed the pop group Strawberry Switchblade in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1981 as a quartet; by the next year, they were down to a duo. Their distinctive look -- frilly polka-dot dresses, hair ribbons, bright red lipstick, flowers, and cheap jewelry -- made them easily marketable, but predictably, this emphasis on visuals came at the expense of musical substance. This wasn't always the case; their 1983 debut single, "Trees and Flowers," was a spare, melancholy song about Bryson's agoraphobia, and featured guitar from Aztec Camera's Roddy Frame. However, their 1985 self-titled debut consisted mostly of over-produced, typically '80s lightweight electro-pop; the bubblegum hit "Since Yesterday" brought the duo some U.K. success, but the album failed to make a lasting impression despite initial Top 25 sales in that country. Following their last hit, a cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene," the duo broke up in 1986. Later Rose worked with gothic underground act Current 93.

Vinyl grading is usually based on the Goldmine standard and is as follows:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise,still plays great.

Good - In the record world, "Good" is not good! From here on down, we're talking about beat-up records!
