The Monochrome Set – Strange Boutique
Formed in 1978 from the remnants of a college group called The B-Sides, whose members had included Stuart Goddard (Adam Ant) the Monochrome Set were notable for the laconic delivery of lead singer Bid, and the retro style of original lead guitarist Lester Square.
They released several singles for Rough Trade before recording their debut album, "Strange Boutique", for Dindisc records in 1980. The Monochrome Set went on to record a further nine LP’s, breaking up in 1985 and then reforming in the early nineties.
Strange Boutique remains their most complete album to date and ‘Goodbye Joe’ (below – no proper video exists) remains one of the highlights.
