The Dole – Hungry Men… 7″

dole_hungry_cover.jpgOk, here comes the whole song title: “Hungry Men No Longer Steal Sheep But Are There Hanging Judges?”. On Chuck Warners(Hyped 2 Death) “Messthetics no. 8″ comp. Know nothing about this band. Did it have a sleeve? How many copies where pressed? Did they release anything else? It’s a great track anyway. You may think that “New Wave Love” would be a great song according to the title. It’s not.

    The Dole were from Peterborough, this was their only single, it original had a die-cut paper sleeve with label logo, band name and song titles printed on it, not sure how many copies were pressed.

    I disagree, New Wave Love was a pretty descent track……

  3. The Flakes // Drummer says:

    Hi. I was the original drummer in the Dole…..This was the one and only single that we made (it was a double A side) but we did record a few more of our songs such as Destroy It, Northern Ireland, Sexpertease, Switch On Switch Off and Who Cares……many thanks for some of the compliments, its nice to know that there are still people out there that remember the ‘good old days’

      hi…matt…I think I have a copy of this somewhere!!! xxxxxx

      • Matt Gillatt says:

        Good for you Joyce that’s one more copy than I’ve got!! Had about six at one point, but various people borrowed them and you know how it goes. They fetch about £40.00 now.
        PS I used to know how to spell “bass” properly.
        Take care. MG xx

    Could never decide the best side myself. Another originally heard on John Peel.
    New Wave Love always reminds me of Don’t cry wolf by the damned, not sure why. maybe bought them around the same time.

    New Wave Love – excellent track I’ve known for ages thanks to it turning up on a Cherry Red/ZigZag compilation album someone nicked from my collection about 20 years ago. Just found (ahem) a download copy online and listening again for the first time in years.

    Excellent stuff – I was about 5 years too young for it first time around but was scouring the local 2nd hand record shop in Kidderminster in the early 80s and finding all sorts of wonderful material to sustain me through the 80s, along with whatever Peel was playing.

    Ended up as a sound engineer at the BBC – including a single Peel session in the early 90s. Inspiration: you never know where it’ll take you…

    Thanks guys :-)

    As I like to share my enlightenment sentiment (Vaeringjar Rousseau, some say), when kneeling, my better half refers to the flesh-to-forehead touch of those surrounding her as the affection of the “hungy men.”
