One of the handful of bands that successfully negotiated the musical shifts that led from punk to mod at the end of the 1970s, the Carpettes originally formed while at school in 1974, as the heavily Stones-influenced Brown Sugar. Based in Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland, the founding lineup of Neil Thompson (vocals), George Maddison (bass), and Kevin Heard (drums) went through a succession of names (and minor lineup changes) before re-forming in spring 1977 as the Carpettes.
A demo brought the band to the attention of the Small Wonder label, and late 1977 saw the release of the band's debut, the four-song EP How About Me and You. The group relocated to London around this same time but a period of unrest saw the Carpettes' initial impetus fade. Heard departed, to be replaced by Tim Wilder, who himself was then replaced by former Merton Parkas percussionist Simon Smith. But Smith was only passing through, and Wilder returned in time for the band's next single, "Small Wonder."
Shifting to the Beggars Banquet label, the Carpettes cut their debut album in 1979, titled Frustration Paradise. The group's absorption into the percolating mod revival brought them considerable live success, but neither album nor singles "I Don't Mean It" and "Johnny Won't Hurt You" could capitalize on their visibility. Nor, the following year, could a new album, Fight Amongst Yourselves, and the Carpettes broke up in June 1981, bowing out with a farewell show at the Clarendon Hotel.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.

---------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!
We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.
Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).
---------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT
I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.
However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.
I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
