There Seem To Be At Least Two Groups Called The Teardrops. 1. The Teardrops Were A Short-Lived New Wwave Band That Formed In Manchester England In 1978. The Band Was Assembled By Steve Garvey Who Was At The Time Playing Bass In Another Manchester Based Band Buzzcocks. The Band Initially Consisted Of Steve Garvey Bass/vocals Trevor Wain Guitar/vocals John Key Guitar/vocals Dave Brisbane Guitar And John Donelly Drums . With This Line Up A Four Song EP Was Recorded And Released In 1978 By Bent Records Entitled In And Out Of Fashion. Shortly After The Release Of This EP The Line-Up Changed To Include Tony Friel And Karl Burns Both Were Previously In The Band The Fall. Another EP Was Released In The Same Year Leave Me No Choice Which Had The Exact Same Tracklisting As The First EP. It Seems That The EP Was Re-Recorded With The New Band Members. In 1979 A Single Was Released 'Seeing Double'. This 7 Inch Single May Or May Not Have Steve Garvey On It. According To The Buzzcocks Discography He Does Play On It But It Is Believed That He Did Not Participate On This Single. By 1980 The Band Had Almost Run Its Course. With A Few New Members Helen Barbrook Trev Wain And Dave Price The Band Recorded And Released Its Only Full Length Album That Was Titled Final Vinyl 1980 . The Album Featured Some Re-Recordings Of Previous Teardrops Songs. The Band Essentially Dissolved By 1981. A Very Short-Lived Band Emerged Following The Teardrops Called Bok Bok. They Released Just One Single In 1980 Called 'Come Back To Me'. 2. The Teardrops Was Also An Early 1960s 'girl Group' From Cincinnati OH United States. Two 14 Year-Old Music Enthusiasts Dorothy Dyer And Linda Schroeder Formed The Group In Cincinnati In 1961. They Were Encouraged To Form A Singing Group After Someone Heard Them Singing From The Audience At A Concert In A Teen Nightclub. They Soon Recruited Pat Strunk A Friend From Hughes High School To Be The Third Voice In The Group. Dorothy Gave The Teardrops Their Name And Soon The Trio Was Performing At Local Teen Venues In Cincinnati During 1962-63. The Girls Were Spotted By Musician/arranger Bud Reneau Who Soon Introduced Them To His Partner Songwriter Paul Trefzger The Trio Signed With Bud And Paul's Saxony Records In 1964 Soon After They Recruited Their Fourth Member Wanda Sheriff. Four Singles Were Released Between 1964 And 1966. read less
