Description
Up for sale is a rare BBC Rock Hour LP featuring The Motels on BBC Records #318 from 1982. This is a rare live concert with commercials that was meant for radio only and not released to the public. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a VG+ with light surface wear on side 1 and beautiful shine. The record came in just a plain white jacket which is in VG+ condition. These are hard to come by since they did not produce many of these. It will be shipped in a sturdy record mailer in a protective plastic sleeve with the inner sleeve outside the jacket to prevent splitting. Don't miss out! Please see my other sales for more rare records.
The Motels are an American new wave band from Berkeley, California that is best known for the singles "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer", each of which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1982 and 1983, respectively. In 1980, The Motels song "Total Control" reached No. 7 on the Australian chart (for two weeks), and their song "Danger" reached No. 15 on the French chart.
Martha Davis, the lead singer, reformed a version of the band called "The Motels featuring Martha Davis" in 1998 and toured under that name with various line-ups of musicians.
In 2013, the band was re-christened with a permanent name, Martha Davis and The Motels. That band is touring the world with a line-up of musicians that have been playing with Davis for over 10 years, longer than the original Motels.
