Let It Bee

Product Information

Had the vinyl for years, wondered what the CD sounded like - specially interested if it suffered from some very noticeable volume drops on some tracks - and yes it does! Bedford left after making formative contributions to the band and did not feature again, while Woodgate stayed for most of the band's main period of activity.

Over on the other side of the noise dial, There’s A Barbarian In The Back Of My Car – with an unlikely co-writing credit for grubby lothario Zodiac Mindwarp – was a surprisingly exhilarating thrash. Opener The Beat of Love – one of five singles the album spawned – thumped its Doc Martens all over the subject of violent relationships, whilst I Say Nothing dealt with non-conformity to a sparkling avalanche of major chords. The album includes a cover version of The Partridge Family's " I Think I Love You", which became their biggest hit in Australia, peaking at No. In October 2017, Bryn and Belland reformed with the original line-up to play a pair of concert dates in London, including the '80s/'90s revival show Indie Daze 4.They teamed with British musicians Mike Jones, Martin Brett, Mark Bedford and Daniel Woodgate, the latter two of whom were former members of Madness. This chart was licensed by ARIA until they commenced producing the chart in-house from 13 June 1988. Martin Brett runs Brett Dempsey Music Productions in London and joined I, Ludicrous on bass guitar in 2008. The most effective moment however was the tabooist Sorrow Floats, spotlighting the rarely touched on subject of female alcoholism but with a tenderness latterly thrown on its head by a pealing, guitar on guitar climax.

A remastered gatefold vinyl edition pressed on transparent honey yellow will also be made available. The group featured Californian lead vocalist sisters Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland (daughters of The Four Preps singer Bruce Belland). Their music came as a breath of fresh air among a heap of designer pop, acidhouse music and blandness. To the untrained eye there was perhaps a hint of novelty around Voice Of The Beehive, a British quintet fronted by Californian sisters Tracey and Melissa Belland, joined by Daniel ‘Woody’ Woodgate (formerly of Madness), along with Mike Jones and Martin Brett.Or maybe they did, but when this star crossing happened what transpired from it maintained a resolutely female perspective. Some may turn their nose up at the fun, playful pop and assume it's not worthy of praise, but those people are dead inside and probably had their father tear up their stuffed animal as a child. The girls give plenty of emotion to these slower songs, and you really feel them with repeated listens. The entire album is brimmed with bright, sugary melodies that almost rot your teeth with their saccharine goodness. Voice Of The Beehive are both a band and a duo of 2 Petticoat Girls from California who are the daughter and step daughter of a 4 Prep.
