This legendary Austrian beat/mod/psychedelic band existed from 1978 to 1982. The album A Doll
Spits Cubes was self-released by the band in an edition of 300, gone in days, once repressed as a bootleg and heavily sought-after in the years to come until today.
The Vogue released two 7" singles, a vinyl album and a couple of tracks on compilations -- all in small,
private underground editions.
The album A Doll Spits Cubes (CFX 004LP) was self-released by the band in an edition of 300 and
was gone in days. It was a great mix of electrifying original songs in addition to covers of The Who, The Kinks, and The Standells. The song "Frozen Seas of Io" made it to #2 in the Austrian charts.

Haha...not bad. I had the lp back then but haven't sold them for a long time, at the end of the 80s. I knew the guy well who produced the lp, died a long time ago and young. Also had a very good collection of lps but a crook. I met a member of the band years later and he told me that they hadn't gotten a cent. That's how it is, a world full of villains ( with a few exceptione). I'll add it to my want list. Thank you Kostas.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who produced and sold the lp also had a record store, one of the one or two best in Vienna. Mostly excessive prices, a capable businessman haha...
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic band I have never heard of (I only knew Ronnie Urini solo). Only top tracks! many thanks
ReplyDeleteJay
Unknown to me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHow many downloadsdo you have of VOGUE and what range does it fall in ? I don't care how many people like something or not...but for sociological reasons haha...
ReplyDeleteI hardly can believe it. It's unbelievable how many downloads has "The Vogue ", maybe because you can find them only on Urban Aspirines, unless there is some other Blog, but I don't know it.
DeleteThat is pleasing. Am pleasantly surprised.
DeleteI'm surprised too, and the number of downloads is still increasing.
DeleteThe band deserves it too. Haven't heard them in a while. There is a shop here for 16e to buy. I'm still thinking.
DeleteI have already copy the CD for you 😁.
DeleteOk thanks
