Candy Flip were Ric Peet (now successful producer, worked with Charlatans etc.) and Dizzie Dee (presumably not his birth name - is he the Kelvin fella?)

 

Funny quote...

 

Recently, there was a very good Pocket Essentials' book issue, called 'The Madchester Scene' by Richard Luck - here is what it says about Candy Flip;

 

'... if there is a seventh level of imitation Madchester hell, you can bet Candy Flip are living in it. Do you like 'Strawberry Fields Forever'? Yeah, everybody likes 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. But wouldn't you like it better if it was 'sung' over a synthetic symbol and snare drum by a man who appeared to be more primate than person? No, of course, you bloody wouldn't! That this very recipe was sufficient enough to secure a top-5 (top-5!) chart position in 1990 suggested that the kids really were taking too many drugs, or that Madchester had reached that point of popularity where even the most messed-up project had some chance of unit shifting success. Fortunately, a second single, 'This Can Be Real', had the decency to flop dreadfully and Candy Flip disappeared in the direction of the nearest who-cares-where-they-are-now file.'

 

(Pssst. I quite liked them!!)

I remember the Candy Flip TOTP episode.

 

It was the same episode (c.Feb 90) as Inspiral Carpets and Primal Scream first appeared on too.

 

I was 14 at the time and had spent the previous 18 months listening solely to the Beatles and the Kinks as the current pop scene was utter shyte.

 

That episode of TOTP transformed my life. A bold statement? Maybe, but absolutely true! I'd instantly found 'my' music!!

 

Suddenly I was back into my music big time. I went straight out and bought the Stone Roses back catalogue which was re-issued around the same time. Within a year, my record collection included the Mondays, Ride, Charlatans, Inspirals, Northside etc.

 

I was the only one in my year at school who liked, or knew anything about any of this stuff, and I was all the more cool (in a geeky way!) for it!!

 

And the birds loved me!!

You were lucky Zeal, I was into that music when I was in the 5th year at Marlborough and I was not considered cool by the girls for liking that music. However I did get your mate Mark into it and the two fo you made it cool, so that´s cool!

Cool as f*ck

What a TOTP episode!
