If you have not seen Laika and the Cosmonauts live you may not believe your
ears when listening to this album. These guys are masters of their
instruments....

Penny Leyton did actuallly leave The Bodysnatchers to form The Belle Stars but was later replaced by Clare Hirst who played saxaphone and keyboards. Penny didn't play guitar - she played keyboards and trumpet.

Thanks for the information, I couldn't find very much on them before I posted this.
Some great tracks on that album especially Everytime, Show Off and Scream Jean. It's wierd but I saw them play in 1989 when they were promoting this album. I then saw them play one year later and they refused to play even one track from the album.

I have this album but the cover is different. Anyone know if there were other versions ? It also does not have song 11. Great music.

Are you the Ronan who knew Oskar from Sweden
The original LP has only 10 tracks (well, at least mine, a 1989 Unicorn Records release, does). The CD, it appears, has 11. A check against the info at discogs seems to confirm that.
THANKS A LOT!!
This is one of my top ska albums! Thanks for giving it some love.
I had a friend who is a DJ convert this album from cassette to cd for me a year ago. But what a find this is!
Probably the name of this band had something to do with the fact that one of the band members had previously sung with a band called Delta 5 (a funk-influenced post-punk band in the style of Gang Of Four, Mekons, etc). Delta 5 never quite "made it" commercially, but they had a close enough brush with fame (album on Rough Trade; went on a U.S. tour) that it might have been worth trying to capitalize on the name.
Also, re: reader comments about different versions of this album. In addition to the LP & CD, there was a cassette version on the NYC label ROIR re-titled as "Oddball Boy." it had all of the songs from the CD plus 2 more bonus songs (either taken from B-sides or compilation appearances). For some reason there's no mention of it on discogs.com, much less on the "Nana Choc Choc" page.
