NIPS ‘N’ NIPPLE ERECTORS

LP

BOBS BABES BOOZE & BOVVER

BIG BEAT / SOHO LABEL

‘Made In France by MPO’

Billed to Nips 'n' Nipple Erectors, this is an important piece of

secondary punk history. It almost fully documents the first band

Shane MacGowan recorded with, collecting both sides of the first

three singles by the Nipple Erectors/Nips, as well as adding four

outtakes: "So Pissed Off" and "Stavordale Rd, N5"

(first issued on LP in 1987), and "Venus in Bother Boots" and

"Fuss & Bother" (which make their debut on this compilation).

Granted, it still doesn't quite add up to 25 minutes, but everything's

here save the 1981 single "Happy Song"/"Nobody to Love."

It's admirably insouciant but kind of middle-of-the-pack late-'70s

U.K . punk, distinguished from some other such sounds of the

time by a heavier rockabilly beat and MacGowan's sneering vocals,

moving a little sideways into Elvis Costello-like territory on the 1979

single "Gabrielle." As for the two new outtakes, "Venus in Bother Boots"

has a slight Ramones feel, while "Fuss & Bother" is, like its

title, blather about nothing particularly important.
