Billy Boys
Billy Boys Anthology
A legend among the fans of obscure Finnish music, country-influenced trash rockband Billy Boys is aural kitsch from beyond space and time, grade B erotic science fiction and pitch-black arctic melancholy. A total of 24 tracks, 'Billy Boys Anthology' consists of material that spans the entire timeline of their existence. It includes songs from the very first Billy Boys seven-inch 'Mystery Train' to '84, as well as Mr. Johnny Helicopter's solo work from the self-titled 'Billy Boys' 7-inch, released two years ago. In 1984, the duo grew into a quartet. Strengthened by the presence of Mr. Adam West and Miss Victoria Frankenstein, Billy Boys released the 'Lonesome Train'/'Pearl Of Berlin' 7-inch and 'Harley Man' 12-inch (both found on the Anthology). Throughout the nineties and noughties, Mr. Johnny Helicopter has been solely responsible for the thrilling endeavors of Billy Boys. Topped with rare, unreleased and live material. Track listing: 01.
