Just listened their first album "Sort Of" first time and I really have fell in love with this band!! I hadn´t ever heard about the band, I was listening Henry Cow albums through, when listening their collaboration album "Desperate Straights" and when there were mostly Slapp Happy-compositions, my interest woke. At the moment Slapp Happy is much more my cup of tea than Henry Cow! One thing for sure is that I really love Dagmar´s voice! Really going to listen all their albums!!

As looking reviews in PA there seem to be also other Slapp-fans...

Really I am the only Slapp Happy fan here?

'Sort Of' is Super catchy. Thanks for alerting me to this band.

Kind of reminds me of The Ventures or Shadows.

I am a big the Ventures fan. Well, maybe there is something sixties garage in Sort Of.

No, you are not the only fan, loved them already back in the seventies...
