Thanks for the apartments - never thought I would have the whole thing again. Any chance of a special lot of uploads to celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January - you have already produced so many rare classics of Oz music

That Apartments EP is so very rare. Never thought I'd get to hear it and now I have.

Thanks so much from an English fan of The Apartments.

The Freeze and theire song "Psychodalek Nightmares" are EXTRA ...but who is Andy Ross?

As the last post has just said (well, seven months ago), the Freeze were fantastic ... just listening to Psychodalek Nightmares for the first time since my record deck crapped up years back .. thanks so much!

But who is Andy Ross? A good question indeed, as neither of the Freeze's two singles make any mention of him ...

Here, for the record, is the only info I have, drawn from the two singles which I still have and my memories of having seen them live several times in Edinburgh (Scotland) in 1979-80.

The Freeze were a Scottish new wave band reminiscent of early Ultravox!, based in Edinburgh and active between 1979 and 1980. Band members were:

Gordon Sharp: vocals and haircut;
David Clancy: guitar and backing vocals;
Keith Grant: bass and backing vocals;
Graeme Radin: drums.

Roy Jack added violin to the first single; Sandy Cruikshanks of "Nassau" added saxophone to the second single.

The band released two singles, both recorded at Craighall Studios in Edinburgh and released on A1 Records, 4 Priory Road, Linlithgow, West Lothian.

The first single, released sometime in 1979, was the In Colour EP. Tracks:
1. Paranoia
2. For JPS (with love and loathing)
3. Psychodalek Nightmares.

The second single, released in January 1980 was:
1. Celebration (dedicated to Louise Brooks, who featured on the cover)
2. Cross-over.

Haven't been able to play them for years, but I remember that the second single was also great - just don't have any way to rip them to mp3 ...

Hope this is useful and efkaristo! Cheers, Dave Sez.

PS: And who was Andy Ross?

A search of youtube for poster "TheScottishFreeze" (without quotemarks) will produce audio tracks of the Freeze's two Peel sessions, 1979 unreleased demos, their second single and some low-quality live recordings .. go get! Cheers, Dave Sez
