5.0 out of 5 stars Is It Too Late To Revive Poodlemania?, December 29, 1999

When I try to think back what made me buy Mirror Stars (the Fab Poos 1978 debut), when it was first released all I can come up with is that I was working parttime at a radio station and I could buy records through the radio station for a couple bucks apiece. Whatever the reason, that album was constantly on my turntable for months. "Mirror Star" should have been a huge smash and "Work Shy" would have made a terrific follow-up single. Instead the band release one more album (Think Pink) and disappeared from the face of the earth!

Maybe the band was just to eclectic. This, after all, was during the punk explosion of the late seventies and lead singer/guitarist Tony De Meur was a bit too Buddy Holly-looking and violin/mandolin(? ) player Bobby Valentino looked too much like RUDOLPH Valentino. At any rate, the influences of the early-Who and Kinks clearly show on this CD's generous 21 tracks.

Buy and enjoy! (And think pink!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab Poos rock still rock on!, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: His Masters Choice (Audio CD)

With their quirky tongue in cheek humor, the Fab Poos failed to get the recognition they deserved in the late 70's and poor managment/record company probs led to their demise in late 1980. I saw the Poodles twice live and still won't forget how fab they were: Mirror stars indeed. Favorite cuts: B-Movies, Mr. Mike, Workshy - lead singer Tony DeMeur still performs in London in a band called Ronnie and the Rex - and a new CD is due out soon, called "Return of the Fabulous Poodle" - Let's hope some brilliant record company in the USA picks it up!! His Master's Choice is what you've got now to tide you over!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, April 10, 2002

This a greatest hits album of a band that should have hit the big time but never got there. There is something here for everyone. If you are into post-punk new wave then this is a cd for you. There is everything from rockabilly(Anna Rexia) to pop punk(Bionic Man) to Buddy Holly-esque love songs(You Wouldn't Listen) and even a little something for the good pop rocker in us all. I give this band and this album three thumbs up.
