Dolly Mixture is a British post-punk band that was formed in 1978 by bassist and vocalist Debsey Wykes, guitarist Rachel Bor, and drummer Hester Smith. Despite starting out as complete amateurs, they quickly gained attention for their unique sound. While some rumors suggested that they entered the music industry through their relationships with members of The Damned, it was actually only Rachel Bor who was involved with Captain Sensible. They achieved some success as backing vocalists for Captain Sensible's hit "Wot", but as a band, they were largely overlooked by both the media and the general public.

Throughout their career, Dolly Mixture faced challenges in gaining widespread recognition. However, their talent shone through in the release of a double album of demo tracks in 1984. Although initially self-released, this album garnered renewed interest when it was re-released in 1995.

With their distinctive style and dedication to creating music on their own terms, Dolly Mixture remains an influential force within the post-punk genre. Their contributions to the music industry continue to be celebrated by fans worldwide.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Rejoice Indie poppers, punks and pop kids - Sealed Records in conjunction with the band and BBC release all 14 tracks Dolly Mixture recorded for the BBC. You no longer have to listen to bad YouTube&nbsp;uploads… Here are all the tracks remastered from original sources, and as an added treat featuring John Peel introducing them and three jingles the band recorded for Kid Jensen.&nbsp;

The first session was recorded for John Peel in August 1979 and features the unreleased 'Dolly Mixture Theme Song’ which the band used to start gigs with and a super strong cover of Goffin and King’s&nbsp;‘The Locomotion’. Four already Dolly Mixture classics from the time were also recorded including 'Dream Come True’, 'He’s So Frisky’, 'New Look Baby’ and 'Ernie Ball’. You can hear the excitement and&nbsp;joy and the sounds are so well recorded at Maida Vale Studios with top notch studio equipment and production.The next session from September 82 was recorded for Kid Jensen and shows a slightly more mature band, but the tracks are just as instant and lovable. These tracks have a more 60’s girl group sound&nbsp;but with more energy. Most people will know the tracks from the Demonstration Tapes album but these versions are better recorded and show the band moving forward.The last session from October 1983 was for Kid Jensen and again shows a band evolving but still with tunes that over forty years later are still loved and adored.

All in all 14 perfectly rounded pop nuggets wrapped in a beautifully designed sleeve and poster by Paul Kelly.
