Take a look at these pretty young men on the sleeve of English music magazine Flexipop. The people who bought it to read about their favorite crap band had no idea what was waiting for them inside. They were about to see the ugly face of Rock'n'Roll. They were about to meet the original Mutant Rockers
THE METEORS
It was 1982 and the Meteors were meaner than ever. The Berlin wall was still standing strong, so did the iron curtain. Americans and Russians were trying to outbid each other in who could develop the most destructive atomic weapons. The fear off atomic missiles was all around and the possibility of a 3rd World War always at hand. At least in the mind of the public. It was the time when Mad Max was in the movies. It was the time when the Meteors played songs about the end of civilization and released one of their best albums, 'Wreckin' Crew'.
So the Meteors line-up at that time, P. Paul Fenech, Mich White and Steve 'Ginger' Meadham plus part-time singer Russell Jones(who seemed to have a thing for dressing 'strange', so say the least) got together with some guys from Flexipop! and created this unique end-of-the-time photo-story. As it is rather hard to get and some Meteors fans maybe haven't seen it yet I decided to provide another service to the Psychobilly loving public and post the story. Enjoy while you can:
