Description

My eBay name is 'punky_music' and I'm a full-time record dealer since nearly 30 years


Superclean pressing from 1978. Old eBay prices: $70 + $48 + $41. Legendary post punk and Do-It-Yourself punk classic, topped with great female vocals. KLEENEX are from Switzerland's capitol city Zurich and this 7” is a must-have for all music lovers. You can listen to the wonderful tracks ‘Ain’t You’ and ‘Hedi’s Head’. Pressed on London's famous label ‘Rough Trade’ records. Early label release (catalogue number RT 009). Two different 'Rough Trade' sleeve variations exist. This is the rare black & white poster sleeve issue. As you know, in 1979 the band changed their name into LILIPUT. In addition I have found the following information on the internet:


  • Kleenex/Liliput is one of the most influential all-female acts in punk rock history, forging a sound that paved the way for the Riot Grrl and pop-punk movements. Founded in the late '70s, their career lasted only a few years, until 1983. But as their influence expanded, the demand for their songs increased. The story of the band begins in Zurich, Switzerland. A handful of girls attended a Sex Pistols show and, like so many of their generation, were inspired to emulate them. Marlene Marder, the anchor of the crew, joined a punk band with some of her male friends, playing her first instrument, the saxophone. When the other members got stars in their eyes, they told Marder that punk bands couldn't have saxophonists and asked her to leave the group. She decided to start her own band, this time playing guitar, along with three of her female friends. Their lyrics were clever and lighthearted, their riffs refreshing and innocent. Most punk bands at the time were following the Sex Pistols' angst-ridden approach to rock, but these girls were composing happy-go-lucky pop songs.
