GLAXO BABIES
“In the annals of Bristol music history Glaxo Babies could have a book and a zone of greatness all of their own. Singles and EPs such as Christine Keeler and This Is Your Life, along with the seminal Avon Calling compilation John Peel recorded session version of It’s Irrational, stormed the zeitgeist of late ‘70s, early ‘80s UK post punk. Four decades on, in 2025, another great leap forward brings the story to a stunning new destination with the vinyl and digital release on Bristol Archive Records in conjunction with their own imprint Liberated Sound Development of Men of Stone, the band’s first new album in some forty years.”
