THE BENT BACKED TULIPS - LOOKING THROUGH (1990)
Dramarama had basically recorded more material than anyone was going to
release at the time, so while the cream of the tunes became "Stuck in
Wonderamaland", the rest surfaced as this collection first released in France. "Looking Through" is at once a rough-and-ready tribute to many
different things garage, from '60s forebears to early-'80s punk/wave,
and a chance for Dramarama's own special blend to surface. At its best, "Looking Through" offers up tracks
that could have easily made a full-blown Dramarama album - the
melancholy emotional confusion of "Come (To Meet Me)" is especially
fine, the most consistent treat throughout comes thanks
to the two covers, starting with the ripping version of
Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why",.The Faces' "Ooh
La La" gets a sweet, uplifting acoustic take with some great
Easdale
singing. The album was later augmented by a further nine tunes from
those sessions for its mid-'90s American re-release on Eggbert Records.
