Autographs - While I'm Still Young (1978)

b/w - Fabulous

Ok carrying on the chain of my last few posts here's the band that Paul Tully was sticksman for before Speedos / Hollywood Killers.

Others in the band were

Chris Gent (voc sax)
Garry" Raggy" Lewis (guitar) ex the Stukas
Jim Ward (guitar)
Dave Spicer (bass)
Paul Tully (drums)

I suspect a lot of you already know this 45 (it's available elsewhere) but if you don't! get ready for an excellent punk / powerpop / glam sound to fill your ears.
(BTW look out for a different (acetate) version that was made available by LDK a few years back)

The record was released on September 29 a good 2 months after their TV appearance (July 22) on Revolver

Chris Gent later went on to play with amongst others, Radio Stars, Speedometers, Blue Meanies, Secret Affair & the Records.
