Ah, the famous Ecstacy album by The Honeys: Marilyn, Diane and Ginger. Don’t know exactly the year it was released, but I think it is from 1985. Produced by Lou Natkin and Mark Avnet with executive producers Harold Bronson and Richard Foos. Engineered by Mark Avnet and recorded at Mad Dog Studios in Venice, CA. Can’t really find known musicians. There is a Robbie Krieger playing guitar on Boy From Nowhere.

There are 10 tracks with the Brian Wilson song Go Away Boy as the highlight and quite different from the rest of the stuff. It’s really recorded in a disco heavy setting, unlike The Honeys we all know.  I bought it some 10 years ago on a record fair and believe me, the price I paid for it was way too much. But then again the mentioned Brian song is maybe worth the purchase of the album (not on CD). There is another Brian Wilson song on the album: You Brought It All On Yourself. Other tracks are Running Away From Love; Exstacy; Love You Forever; Indian Giver; Temptation Eyes; Girls Are Vicious and Be My Baby.

A lot of it sounds like 80s heavy rock too, some of it reminds me of 80s Kiss!

Haha. Good analogy, actually.

I must say, I think it's a pretty dreadful album. But I think Brian's Go Away Boy is interesting.

I actually have an autographed copy of The Honey's In Ectasy, but I don't remember how I got it! My memory is getting senile said Brian. I think I sent away for it via some promotion or something.

The album was an obvious attempt by the girls to sound current or contemporary, which of course, they were not. However, some of the songs weren't bad. There were a couple of good melodies if i remember correctly. I listened to it a lot when I first got it. Since then, well...

I don't like it. Go Away Boy is a good song but bad production. The It's Like Heaven LP is way better.

Thats where I first heard it, it is a good song, I don't mind the Honeys version but it does have that incongruous guitar solo at the end!
