STINGRAYS

Russ Mainwaring
Chris Bostock
Sean McClusky

Brilliant Punk/Rockabilly three piece. Chris Bostock left after recording their first single. Sean McClusky also played with Joe Public before leaving with Chris for the bright lights of London with Johnny Britton and Bernie Rhodes. Sean later played with Joboxers who had some hit records namely Boxer Beat.

I loved the Stingrays. When they played with us (which they often did at venues as diverse as The Stonehouse and Trinity Church) I usually enjoyed their set more than ours. They were - I suppose - a bit like Bristol's equivalent of The Ramones. A rockin' unit with an advanced sense of irony. Such qualities probably made them unfashionable with Bristol's 'rocknoscenti' of the day, most of whom were trying to sound like bad copies of Albert Ayler (and - unfortunately - succeeding), but this only made me like them more. Listen to the guitar solo in 'Countdown' - wowee! It lifts my wig to this day. Where they are now, I dunno, but I'm jolly glad they were there and that I could be there, too.

(Steve Bush) Record Collector 2006 Book Value (in Mint condition):

I have been collecting records for over thirty years, and I am now selling most of my collection (in alphabetical order) via ebay or through my web site at sa-wa-ro.com. The majority of these records have not been played since I bought them – some I’ve never played! I try to grade all my records fairly but, as with most things, it’s down to personal interpretation, so, if after purchasing, you feel the record is not up to scratch (no pun intended) then please return it and I will refund fully your expenses.

Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.

PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Buyers to pay postage and packing.

(Please note that due to recent increase in Postal Charges, my postage rates have risen for both UK and non-UK customers)

PAYPAL is my preferred payment, but I will accept GBP, Euros and Cheques ( UK Banks ONLY – payable to [sa-wa-ro] ltd ) and UK Postal Orders. Cheques are subject to a 5 working day clearance before items are sent.

I will refund, in full, if item is not as described and if notified within 5 days of receipt and returned within 14 days. I will not, however, deal in partial refunds.

All items will be carefully packaged, using polythene sleeves, cardboard mailers and stiffners. If you require extra packing, please contact me before paying as this could affect the postage charges. Please also contact me if you require Recorded Delivery or insurance.

Feedback will be left when I have confirmation, by feedback, that you are totally happy with your purchase.

Thanks for bidding.

Mike
