Five Star Gas - Smokey Bubble Shoo Fly Pie (1979)

b/w - Sledge Hammer

Great New Wave / Powerpop from this Hertfordshire area band (1978-83). Released at the tail end of 1979 in a pressing of 1000

Terry Judge (Voc)
Nick Murray (Guitar)
John Simpson (Bass) Now in The Feelgood Band
Bob Prebble (Drums)

Give Sledge Hammer a listen first as Smokey Bubble Shoo Fly Pie is what can be called an "acquired taste"

Thanks To Bob for the extra info

If you're in the Hertfordshire area keep a eye out for the 4-Piece The Dukes Of Earl. - The band includes Nick Murray (Guitar) & Bob Prebble (Drums) along with Alan Webb (Bass) & Mick Anderson (Guitar)

  1. Hi, bristolboy! My son has just sent me your blog. I'm the drummer on the record, and me and Nick Murray are still gigging together in a new lineup! The bass player is in aDr Feelgood tribute band called The Feelgood Factor - worth looking up!
