b/w - Boogie Street
Interesting A-side from this North East based band of which I know very little about.
Tom Cotton (voc)
Pat Mount (guitar voc)
Bopper Robson (bass voc)
Robert Zipfel (drums) later in Badge
Doc Montana (keyboards)
with help from Lido Jackson & his guitar on Boogie Street
The flip is not really my cup 'o tea nor the funky guitar, it's his voice that makes me want to listen to it again (I'm reminded of someone else but I really can't put my finger on it.)
As usual when I can't tell you much about the band I'll pad it out with other snippets; such as; it was probably recorded at the Fairview Studios in Hull as the recording engineer was Roy Neave & it was produced by Nigel Ward
Later
Scant info here but you can hear both sides of the drummers later NWOBHM band Badge on You-Tube here & here

* Evolution Records was a subsidiary of RCA [whose warehouse staff had a tendancy to "Strike" at a moments notice] - I guess that's why these records are hard to locate.
This guys were from Bridlington. They were quite well established in various bands on the local scene when I first started playing guitar . Pat Mount was a couple of years my senior and his great guitar style influenced me a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnother east coast band at the time who often hung out with them was “Dead fingers talk”
