Little Bob Story - Livin' in the Fast Lane (1977)



Well here we are...last post of 2012 and we have some heads down, punky rock 'n' roll to see the year out.  Little Bob Story were from Le Havre in France but somehow became involved in the London punk scene in '76 and '77.  Their frantic blend of rockin' R&B made them popular on the pub rock circuit and they gathered enough of a following to release some records on Chiswick, the UK's first indie label...



The singer is a dead ringer for that popular Irish comedian, Frank Carson:

That's it, Happy New Year everyone!

Tracklist:

01         Little Big Boss         
02         All Or Nothing    
03         I'M Gonna Dress In Black     
04         'Round The Corner         
05         Riot In Toulouse         
06         When The Night Comes         
07         Baby     
08        You Make Me Crazy    
09         Mister Tap         
10         Nothin' Else (Can Give It To Me)

Get it HERE.

Dear Mr Tear

I'm working on a radio emission on «blogging and records digging» for Swiss National Radio and for our network norient.com. The emission is going to be one hour long, and I will discuss a variety of topics around "record digging" with bloggers from blogs that I (or we from norient) like. To do so I would like to arrange a skype or phone interview with you within the next two weeks. Please let me know if we could arrange such an interview ....

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Kindest Regards from Bern

Thomas
