“Scandal In A Brixton Market” by Girlie and Laurel Aitken - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1969 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Released on London’s Pama Records, “Scandal In A Brixton Market” was the first truly brilliant Laurel Aitken album. The set was delivered by a great band; framed by cool basslines and characterful performances. Girlie plays the nagging wife whilst Rico Rodriguez plays the trombone lament. Every track’s a winner, bar the inexplicable “Teddy Bear” cover which is completely out of place.
