Recorded in 1992, Songs For Emily Valentine is considered to be the great lost Puddle album. Now, thanks to Powertool Records, we can finally hear it! Featuring would-be pop hits from start to finish, "songs for Emily Valentine" is essential listening for NZ music historians and fans of "the Dunedin Sound". You may remember the song "Southern Man" from being THE GREATEST POP SONG EVER WRITTEN. Rumour has it that George D. Henderson is at it again; gigging and recording his next masterpiece. Thanks Powertool! - MC | |

My first exposure to The Puddle may have been on the campus lawn at an Otago University Orientation. It was probably 1985, I had just left school and I had not even joined my own first band E.O.E. They were something of a spectacle, a ragtag bunch of drifters and wasters, the ensemble included a French Horn! What greeted my ears from across the varsity lawn was a cheerfully anarchic yet melodic cacophony which may well have provoked me to ask "What the Hell is that!" to which I was informed, "Oh that's The Puddle". The Puddle!...it seemed to fit. In Sanity We Trust No Love No Hate Songs for Emily Valentine Gallery | |
