Fabulous Poodles - Workshy 1979 UK Pic Disc VG
FABULOUS POODLES - WORKSHY
Inject a heavy dose of snotty, satirical new-wave energy into your turntable setup with this exceptionally rare 1979 UK original 7" vinyl picture disc single of Workshy by The Fabulous Poodles. Masterfully produced by legendary Who bassist John Entwistle for the prestigious Pye Records imprint, this vibrant late-70s pop-rock artifact perfectly bridges the gap between classic British pub-rock storytelling and frantic, power-pop hook delivery. The high-velocity 45 RPM analog grooves deliver a punchy, sharp soundstage—spotlighting Tony de Meur's biting, tongue-in-cheek vocal delivery and driving guitar lines on the anti-work anthem "Workshy" before turning over to the eccentric, kinetic rhythms of "Toytown People" on the flip side. Flaunting its iconic, brilliantly stylized cartoon graphics encased in its original clear PVC collector's sleeve, this beautifully preserved 1979 novelty piece is an absolute, non-negotiable crown jewel for any serious pub-rock archivist, new wave completionist, or elite vintage picture disc hunter.
