Wendy and bonnie skye records

[TuckinFrat]

is the wendy of this duo... wendy kolac??

[Matt Hero]

Well, the surname on the LP is 'Flower', but I'm guessing that probably isn't true. Indeed, were they really sisters ?

[TuckinFrat]

hmm maybe i wont buy this wendy kovac lp then, ta Matt

No, they were sisters, and were actually (and, in 1969, rather fortuitously) named Wendy & Bonnie Flower as far as I'm aware (both probably have other married surnames these days, which might confuse things a little*). And you should get this - one of the best LPs of its kind ever issued anywhere IMHO...and fairly rare, as Skye went bankrupt very soon after its release (it's since been reissued by Sundazed with demos and extra tracks). Think brilliant, driving jazzy soft-psych/sunshine pop. I'm biased, but...amazing LP.

EDIT: * Just checked: Wendy's married name is Freeman, apparently, and her releases since the W&B days have been mainly aimed at kids (a self distrubuted cassette called 'My Pet Songs' produced to tie into her puppetry and music act is mentioned in the reissue sleevenotes). Bonnie's married surname is Bolfango, I believe, and she works as a musician in LA still...

Definitely a similarity, but Bonnie (if I'm not mistaken) is the dark haired one in the duo...

Mind you, that Kolok LP looks worth a punt anyway at that price!

[Matt grabs trusty notebook]

Well, I did say I thought 'Flower' wasn't their likely real surname.....

[TuckinFrat]

got stuck in traffic and missed it anyway...i always thought the dark haired one was a boy$^!!

[Matt Hero]

Well, if it is her, she's keeping it a secret....

[taiconderoga]

I remember reading in the Sundazed CD booklet that one of the Flower sisters got a offering to join The Bangles back at the time but she finally declined.

wendy kolac? bonnie kovac?
what drugs have you been takin this week chris?
bonnie KOLOC did 5 or 6 lps for dick schorys Ovation label.
wheras Wendy and Bonnie flowers were two young girls (13 and 17) who made one of the best hippie rock lp's (and nice a nice 45) of all time (heavily inspiring stereolab)
kati KOVAC however is a hungarian Elaine Page who hosted TV shows and ALMOST made some good LPs with locamotive.. etc

BTW got the other 2 LPs by laura this week (white funk) and RIIINNNCCCED HAIRY at the weekend
(try and get some of those yoko-ono 'titbags' and put em on ebay... easy money)

[TuckinFrat]

Might as well ask if any of them are worth getting? Looks femme-folky, but is it good bad or indifferent femme folky?
