Elton Motello - Jet Boy Jet Girl CD

 wow on cd at last
elton was one of those great uk experimental post punk new wave artists that had some catchy tunes, it was real good to hear all the boys are english and queen again. ive been looking for this cd for years now and it has just not been available. i just happened to type it in here at cduniverse like i was doing on and off for years and boom it pops up. gives me a lot of hope on other stuff that never made it to cd. anyway regardless this is a great collection of everything to my knowledge elton recorded. he was best know for his single jet boy and its all here on one discaaaa+++++++++ real happy about this one

 A Combination Of Several Of Motello's L.P.'s On 1 Cd!
Known mostly for his sexually explicit "english" version of the French punk hit "Ca Plane Pour Moi" (by French artist Plastic Bertrand) called "Jet Boy, Jet Girl", and by far Motello's best song ever, this disc appropriately named "Jet Boy" is basically a collection of his only two albums (with a few deletions naturally) "Victim Of Time" (originally released on Attic Records-Canada) and "Pop Art" (originally released on Passport Records-USA). While there are some cool songs here such as the above mentioned "Jet Boy, Jet Girl", there's "Pogo Pogo" (named after a punk dance) as well as "In The Heart Of The City" (from his "Pop Art L.P.) but the remaining tracks are average at best. Also check out "Hardest Hits Volume 5" on SPG Records Canada which also includes the seven minute "club version" of "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" at a more reasonable price than this way over priced European disc.
