Fire Engines : Candyskin

I remember hearing this cracking single on John Peel around 1982 and the tune stuck in my head for years before I eventually managed to get a copy for myself. The Fire Engines were often lumped in with the Postcard Records scene although the band never recorded for the label.

Lead singer Davy Henderson later went on to form Win and Nectarine No.9.

With just three singles and one album, The Fire Engines were not in it for the long run. In actual fact, their career as a band only lasted 18 months although their mark on Scottish (& British) guitar pop music remains indelible to this day.
Back in 1981/2, no 7" vinyl collection was deemed credible without this little gem in it's unique fold-out poster sleeve.
A thousand jingly jangly pop bands would have never formed if it was not for Candyskin. Like many others, I actually preferred the flipside, Meat Whiplash. No_Record_Shops_Left
