about

One side live and the other studio. The live side was recorded at the Highwayman Inn in Threapwood, Staffs. The studio side was recorded mainly at Pebble Beach studio in Worthing and produced by Dixie Dean (formerly of McGuinness/Flint) In fact, Hughie Flint played drums on this side. “Teabag In My Coffee” was released as a single in ‘76. When I bought the masters in the late eighties, I decided that two songs didn’t fit, so I replaced them with : THE MARTIANS HAVE LANDED IN WIGAN, recorded for Pete Townshend’s ill-fated PROPELLOR label in 1980, also produced by Dixie Dean, and including Patrick Moore: secondly, SATURDAY COWBOYS (studio version) which was produced by Kevin Parrott of “Brian and Michael” fame and originally issued as a single in 1980 on DJM. The album’s now on Loofy 006, remastered for CD and download with extra tracks.
