Album Review: The Revillos – Stratoplay

The Revillos,”Stratoplay” (Cherry Red)- The sad demise of Scotland’s finest punk pop exponents The Rezillos in 1978 prompted vocalists Fay Fife and Eugene Reynolds to continue operations with a slightly altered (for contractual reasons) band name but the same blend of new wave energy and kitsch charm which had made their earlier work so appealing.  This invigorating 6 CD retrospective brings together the two albums that they captured for posterity during the early eighties, along with assorted non album  singles, radio sessions  and later live and studio recordings .The finished product is as close to the definitive Revillos anthology as anyone could reasonably expect, and a delightful quirky exercise in musical nostalgia into the bargain.
