I bought this in about 1974 (released 8 years earlier) and was sold on him as a guitarist, whilst still listening to Hawkwind, the Pink Fairies, The Kinks, Zappa and Beefheart :lolol:
But sadly, Never a Punk :wink:
Far better guitarist than vocalist ! Other great 77 albums that I remember well ?
In the City - Jam
My aim is True - Elvis Costello
New Boots - Ian Dury
Exodus - Bob Marley
All n All - EWF
But not a lot of punk :shrug:
Best Album of 1977 Harry ? Still love it to this day :wink:
Regularly played at the Inn place under the Alhambra for those REALLY in the know :thumbsup:

Youngsters making a complete row because they're angsty, not so much :wink:
Funnily enough, I saw both of them in the early 70's as a result of my older sister taking me. I must have done my 'punk' thing back then, because by 1976/77 I was listening to the Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea etc (always out of step with fashion :wink:).
I always had...
Stuart Copeland, great drummer though he was, admitted to nicking a fair few of his reggae licks from another drummer who was around at the time and that was Lewes Priory's (and Elvis Costello and the Attractions) own Pete Thomas. Great guy, brilliant drummer but really annoying nasal laugh...
