The Records
The Records were a British power pop band formed in 1978, emerging from the
remnants of the Kursaal Flyers. The group consisted of Will Birch on drums and
John Wicks on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, who began writing songs together
after the dissolution of their previous band. They initially included bassist
Phil Brown and lead guitarist Brian Alterman, who was later replaced by Huw
Gower in 1978. The Records were heavily influenced by bands like the Beatles and
early power pop groups such as Badfinger and Big Star. The band's debut single
"Starry Eyes" was released in December ...
