  • The Merton Parkas fou una banda de mod revival, formada en l'àrea de Merton, Londres Del sud a mitjans dels 70, per Danny Talbot (vocals i guitarra), el seu germà, Mick Talbot (teclats), Neil Hurrell (baix) i Simon Smith (tambors). El grup va ser descobert mentre actuava en un pub de Clapham, South London, per Alan Anger, periodista del gènere punk, i van signar amb l'etiqueta independent, Beggars Banquet. Originalment es van anomenar "The Sneekers", i van ser un grup de bandes de power pop que incloïen The Pleasers. El Merton Parkas van traure uns quants moderadament reeixits singles, com: "You Need Wheels", "Plastic Smile", "Give it to Me Now" i "Put Me in the Picture". També van alliberar un àlbum, Face in the Crowd. Rick Buckler de The Jam va tocar amb la banda per al músic Ronnie Scotts, i Mick Talbot tocà en "Heatwave", una pista en l'àlbum Setting Sons del 1979. Merton Parkas també aparegué a la Bridge House del barri Canning Town, però a causa de disputes contractuals entre etiquetes de gravació, no va aparèixer en l'àlbum de 1979 Mods Mayday. Tanmateix en You tube es pot escoltar la gravació íntegra amb les cançons dels Merton Parkas a la Casa de Pont . La pista més destacada de la banda fou "You Need Wheels", que assolí del número 40 en el Gràfic de vendes de senzills del Regne Unit a l'estiu de 1979. Per ser aquest el seu únic èxit en aquell gràfic, són considerats com un grup d'un únic i cap més èxit en el Regne Unit. Després de la disgregació de The Merton Parkas durant 1980, Mick Talbot va anar a tocar amb Dexys Midnight Runners, The Bureau, i The Style Council. Simon Smith va unir la banda de revival psicodèl·lic, Mood Six. (ca)

Die Merton Parkas waren mit The Jam Wegbereiter der in Großbritannien zu diesem Zeitpunkt aufkeimenden „zweiten Welle“ der Mod-Szene der 1960er Jahre und erhielten als eine der ersten Neo-Modbands schnell einen Vertrag bei Beggars Banquet Records. 1979 wurde die Debütsingle „You Need Wheels“ veröffentlicht, die in England ein Hit wurde. Es folgte die LP „Face in the Crowd“, woraus „Plastic Smile“ und „Give it to me“ ebenfalls als Singles veröffentlicht wurden. Enthalten waren auch die Coverversionen „(I’m not your) Steppin‘ Stone“ (im Original von den Monkees) und "Tears of a Clown" (Smokey Robinson). Bereits 1980 trennte sich die Gruppe. Mick Talbot gründete 1983 gemeinsam mit Paul Weller The Style Council. (de)

The group was discovered playing in a pub in Clapham, South London, by Alan Anger, a punk journalist, and signed with the independent record label, Beggars Banquet. They originally called themselves "The Sneekers", and were one of a group of power pop bands that included The Pleasers. The Merton Parkas released a few moderately successful singles, such as: "You Need Wheels", "Plastic Smile", "Give it to Me Now" and "Put Me in the Picture". They also released one album, Face in the Crowd. Rick Buckler of The Jam played with the band at Ronnie Scotts, and Mick Talbot played on "Heatwave", a track on The Jam's 1979 album Setting Sons. The Merton Parkas also appeared at the Bridge House, Canning Town, but due to contractual disputes between record labels, did not feature on the 1979 album, Mods Mayday. However the un-released recording of their set at the Bridge House can be found on YouTube. The band's most notable track was "You Need Wheels", which reached No. 40 in the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1979. As this was their only success in that chart, they are regarded as one-hit wonders in the UK. After The Merton Parkas disbanded in 1980, Mick Talbot went on to play with Dexys Midnight Runners, The Bureau, and The Style Council. Simon Smith joined the psychedelic revival band, Mood Six. (en)
  • I Merton Parkas erano un gruppo musicale britannico di genere mod revival, che ha avuto discreto successo verso la fine degli anni settanta. Il nome deriva dal gioco di parole tra Merton Park, zona a sud di Londra, ed il Parka, giubbotto militare tipico dello stile mod, del quale, insieme a gruppi come The Lambrettas, Secret Affair e The Purple Hearts, divennero simbolo indiscusso. Il gruppo, formatosi nel 1975 dall'incontro tra i fratelli Danny e Mick Talbot con Neil Wurrel e Simon Smith, ha all'attivo un solo album, Face in the Crowd, datato 1979 e contenente i singoli Plastic Smile, Put Me in the Picture, Give It to Me Now e You Need Wheels, che durante l'estate del medesimo anno si è piazzato al #40 nella Official Singles Chart, la classifica dei singoli più venduti nel Regno Unito. Nel 1980, a seguito dello scioglimento del gruppo, Simon Smith e Mick Talbot scelsero di partecipare ad altri progetti musicali: il primo diventò il batterista della band alternative rock dei , mentre il tastierista Talbot, dopo aver militato nei Dexy's Midnight Runners e nei Bureau, fondò nel 1982, insieme a Paul Weller, il celebre duo Style Council.
