B1 - Dear Marge (Dub)
B2 - You Don't Get Crispy Chips From New Potatoes
I don't think much of the Instrumental version Of Dear Marge (which incidentally is not indicated on the labels) but the other 2 tracks fall nicelly into the Mod / powerpop sound bracket.
I was hoping to have more information than the below but hey ho!
The band (5 piece?) were from the Hatfield / Welwyn Garden City area.
John Erentrauts (voc, harmonica) RIP ex Albert Monk
David Boon (guitar) RIP*
Billy Lund (Bass)
Glen Mansfield (Keyboards)
Paul Turley (drums / keyboards) later in Classix Nouveaux (84 -85) / Smalltown Elephants (86-88) / Christmas Island (90-91) / Baby Boomerang (92-94)
All tracks were produced by Phil Nash at the 24 track Wickham House Recording Studios in Croydon
* David Boon tragically died when the light aircraft he was piloting crashed near Steep, Petersfield, Hampshire, on 10 April 2009.
Thanks to Malcolm Green for the extra info

DeleteGood grief, used to hang around with them. No relation to Dave, sad to hear about 'herring trout' as well.
ReplyDeletesorry i did'nt recognise you in the beehive after Dave died but it had been a long time ago when you had all the hair and beard. i hope you are well. I visited Bill,Billy& Val in 2014 and they were fine. I still listen the Rutsand remember the old great times we had. keep well! Glen Mansfield.
