Cockney Rebels Specials
(1983-1985)
The text.
The shots of Lizni Drew.
The text moving in a frantic fashion.
Logo: On a black background, the neon pink cursive text "COCKney Rebels" with "Specials" below zooms out from the right, leaving trails behind it. We then cut to a purple four-square outline, the blank spaces of which are then filled with pictures of a woman (Linzi Drew) scantily-clad in a swimsuit seductively posing to the camera. Then, we cut back to the text again, which is suddenly tilted and zooming in and out in a frantic fashion.
Technique: Early computer effects, and what seems to be live action at the end.
Music/Sounds: Starts with a disco beat that sounds similar to the intro of "Blue Monday", then a descending synth effect that repeats four times, before the beat and descending sound are merged together at once, rapidly repeating.
Availability: Very rare. Seen on their only few releases, Wrong Time Wrong Place, Werewolf Woman, and The Last Angels. It's also likely each of them has a different logo variant.
