Graham Gouldman: bass
Alice Pepper And other members of the Cheadle Hulme High School Choir: bg vocals
Produced by Hotlegs – 1970
Recorded at Strawberry Studios, ManchesterHotlegs put out 1 45 and an album (released in 1976 after the band had changed their name). The band was started in Strawberry Studios, Manchester by two ex-members of the Mindbenders: Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. They recruited two other guys, members of a duo called Frabjoy and Runcible Spoon: Lol Crème and Kevin Godley who had been writing bubblegum songs for the infamous bubblegum company Kasenetz-Katz (Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Company etc) in the US. The A Side: Neandrethal Man, surprisingly went to No. 2 on the British charts, selling over 2 million copies. Finally making money after years of sweating it out in the trenches, a couple of members took off for a vacation in Antiqua for a number of months while their single took off. Instead of gigging, they were soaking up sun! When they returned their single was old news and they couldn’t get a gig anywhere so they decided to change their name to 10CC and had a successful career.
I met a woman who was looking after a friend in Cardiff, Wales, a few weeks ago. Here’s an email she sent me regarding Hotlegs:
Hi Steve,I have located an album on Amazon of "Grapefruit Records" entitled "You didn't like it because you didn't think of it." I remember going (with a few other girls from the school choir) to Strawberry Studios on two or three afternoons in, probably, 1970 to record backing bits for Hotlegs. They wanted girls who could sing a top C and hold it for a long time and I remember being auditioned before going to find out if I could do that!
Our music teacher at school was friends with them and helped write some of the music, I think. His name was Geoffrey Keating.
I remember Neanderthal Man, of course, but don't think we did any singing backing for that track. I did wonder if the recorder playing was me though, as, listening to it, I have a hazy recollection of playing that music. (I had also just played recorder in a performance of Benjamin Britten's "Noye's Fludde" which was conducted by Geoffrey Keating, so it is possible).
I am not sure which tracks off that album list include us, but I am pretty sure that any that include female voices would be us.
I remember the recording studio quite well and that the recording sessions seemed quite disjointed and confusing, not at all like a straight performance. I don't think they had even decided on the final names for the tracks at that stage. The process was very evolutionary and they did loads and loads of listening, rerunning and rerecording bits, making changes and tweaks in between! We were there for hours and hours when we did go. The band got very absorbed in the whole thing and I remember my Mum getting a bit worried about me getting involved with it all. She had no need to worry: these lads were not creeps or predators of schoolgirls! (I would have been 15 or maybe just 16).
When I get home I might hunt about for the album recording, if I still have it, and listen to the tracks again. I expect the memories will come flooding back.
It was nice to meet you and Maggie,
Best wishes,

Though the Ran-Dells have been recognized for innovative and pioneering use of a sine wave generator (a first for the pop music genre), the musicians actually responsible for the sine wave tones heard in "Martian Hop" received no credit for the composition. The twelve-second introduction at the beginning of the song is an uncredited sample from the first 30 seconds of "Moon Maid" by Tom Dissevelt and Dick Raaymakers, aka Kid Baltan. It appeared on their experimental album, The Electrosoniks - Electronic Music in 1962, a year before "Martian Hop" was recorded.15. Russell Chapman Band: Sputnick Breakdown (June Eikhard)
