The Vauxhalls – Teenager From Outer Space – unreleased – recorded at Orley Studios in Christchurch in October 1980.Thank god, The Vauxhalls managed to get into Christchurch’s Orley Studios in late 1980. That the recordings included a song this good is a bonus and real meat to the myth. Unfortunately by the time they got to record The Vauxhalls were minus Scott Brooks, the bass player, so Mark Brooks plays bass and guitar. Martin Archbold drums. On the best track, Teenager From Outer Space, Mark Brooks lets rip ‘bout a quarter of the way through a wild chunk of garage R&B lead.
