Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Monkeys On Juice 12'' (1984)

I don't know what it is about The Lorries but I've loved them ever since I first them. Lumped into the "goth" catagory by most,lumped into the "brilliant" catagory by Longy.

A little story about this one. I first heard it on either Anne Nightingale or John Peel's show on Radio One and instantly loved it. So on the Saturday,I went into town and promptly asked for the new Red Lorry Yellow Lorry single in the shop. "Whats it called" they asked. To be honest I didn't catch the title on the radio so I replied "Monkeys On Drugs" When the bloke in the record shop had picked himself up from the floor after a hysterical laughing fit he eventually dug it out for me.

Hi Longy! Thanks for this one, never enough of the lorries. Besides Monkeys On Juice I like Silence too. As far as I know, Silence only appears on the singles compilation, on this single and in a quite good compilation In Goth Daze. I remember that I bougth a tape copy just for this song (about twelve years ago) and later I bought the CD. I will post this compilation just If you (or anyone) are interested.


I was out of the blogger life because the internet broke down :( but I fixed the problem and now is very fast :)
I will take advantage of the forthcoming holidays to rip Vinyls an Tapes that I have on my home (I'm out of the city right now) and want to go also for shoping at some underground stores and see what can I find there...used stuff obviously.

Apolagize for my english as always. I could use the translator but I don't trust too much what it say :(


Cheers mate!
