The Shop Assistants 'The Shop Assistants' (1986)

   

In 1986, British weekly paper the NME gave away C86, a cassette compiling a theretofore insular scene of shy, shambolic guitar-bands steeped in punk's DIY ideals. These ranks included Glasgow's the Shop Assistants, who, that same year, issued their one-and-only, self-titled album. With its buzzy sound, keening guitars, and tambourine-bashing percussion, the record served as the first full-length example of a twee band; though no one identified it as that at the time. Their cover of “Train from Kansas City,” a song by '60s girl-group the Shangri-Las, served as a statement of the C86 scene's artistic intent: harking back to rock'n'roll's innocent history, whilst proudly paying homage to pop in its purest form.
