Great idea, although I'm still scarred by the memory of Les Gray from Mud singing 'Lonely This Christmas' to a ventriloquist's dummy on TOTP ;-)

Freaked me out when I was a kid.

Saw them at the Free trade Hall, they took their own music seriously and they came across as a heavy rock band, thats when you could hear for the screaming girls.lol

Blockbuster, what a great tune, infact probably the only tune i know!

I'll be honest, i had heard of the band, but only discovered what they sounded like cause blockbuster was used in Life On Mars.

top tune.

Great example of them 'live' mate.....check the break on 1:48...the band are tighter than a gnat's arse and I have seen SO many 'name' drummers, and Mick Tucker is a powerhouse equal to all I have seen bar Bonzo....

Sweet Fanny Adams. (sweet fa)
I think I'll go up and dust it off. I remember a track off it called Peppermint twist was quite a good'un.
