TBT (19) Roland Rat Superstar – Rat Rapping

Every Thursday I Look Back To The Past

Ever wondered what the first record was that the brothers got as a child?

Here’s David’s:

‘That would be ‘Rat Rapping’ by Roland Rat Superstar [a UK kids’ TV puppet from the 1980s, left]. I‘ve got it on 12-inch, man. I’m from Belgium, but when we went on holiday to the Belgian coast we could watch UK TV. And I loved that character, so when we went to London I bought the Roland Rat 12-inch from HMV on Oxford Street. I’m not that embarrassed by it, although when I think about it, I probably should be.’

  1. This percusion on intro reminds me of “Missing Wires”. Probably not without reason.
