Interview Big Oceans (Vinyl, Virgin Records, 1978) **
Genre: Pop rock, new wave
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Love Fallout (Not available on Spotify or YouTube)
Gear costume: Shipyards
Active compensatory factors: I heard Love Fallout on a Virgin sampler - the excellent double album Virginity. I enjoyed it as they reminded me of XTC (who I love) and it was on Virgin - a happening label in the late seventies.

So, I picked up the album, their debut, and was quite underwhelmed and disappointed. It wasn't like XTC at all!
The album doesn't contain any other catchy songs like Love Fallout and the band kind of petered out after a second album.
Where do they all belong? Another album that goes on the to-be-sold pile.
