They called themselves the Mundanes - but they were not a real band, so no Mundanes record inside.
The fake sleeve was actually a party invite to celebrate the 3rd year of Groucho being in biz.
They also tweaked the 2 Tone logo to resemble Groucho Marx and changed the song titles - one being "I Don't Like Mundanes".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forward-wind 4 decades, and Groucho's are involved in more piss-takes, this time fake gig posters for the film, Schemers - complete with venues & bands that don't match the fake dates.
They're all as fake as Groucho Marx's moustache!
Hi, Have you got a picture of what the labels look like on the vinyl? I would very much like to see the picture.
ReplyDeletePlease email me skavillecity@gmail.com
This was no Mundanes record involved, it was only a mock-up of the cover they made.
DeleteThere was a record inside & it had faked up label of Walt Jabsco looking like Groucho Marx, someone online emailed me the picture of that.
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant was that there was no recording by Mundanes, they were not a band.
DeleteThey were just a bunch of Dundee guys having a bit of fun doing a visual parody of the cover.
They did put records inside but they were just random discs by other acts.
Nothing to do with Mundanes, ska or 2 Tone.
If you want that pic I can email it to you if you let me know your email address, or you can visit my Discord server called Skaville City Community to get it.
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm not stupid, I do know
ReplyDeleteYou failed to send me the picture of that, but luckily someone else online was kind enough to share that picture, shame on you.
ReplyDeleteI can't send you something I haven't got.
DeleteI don't have the Mundanes record sleeve or inside content.
I only have an original Feb 1980 Record Mirror article about it.
I read all about this back in 1979, there was an article about it, I think it was in Melody Maker. That's how I know all the information about it. There was way more information about it than what you've put on here.
ReplyDeleteYou're a cunt for treating me as if i'm stupid, I'm way more fucking clued up about it than what you are.
ReplyDeleteAll I asked you was could you share a pucture of the label & you've acted like a cunt. I'm thankful that someone else has shared it. That person never acted like a cunt like you have acted like.
ReplyDeleteYou're a fucking dickhead.
