New Mullet on Monday - The Records

Well, I somehow managed to scrape up another edition of New Mullet on Monday. I don't think I will be abandoning the feature altogether, but will post the great mullets of the era whenever I happen to run into them. This particular video features a variety of seventies-era mullets, worn by members of The Records, a highly influential British Power Pop band formed in 1978. The band was co-founded by John Wicks (vocals) and Will Birch (drums).

From the 1979 album Shades in Bed, this is Starry Eyes.

Band Update: Wicks has retained the The Records' name, and in 2007, released an album entitled Rotate under the name John Wicks & The Records. Birch went on to produce music, and has also made a foray into writing, publishing the book No Sleep Till Canvey Island - The Great Pub Rock Revolution. He is currently working on a book on the life of Ian Dury.
