Saw them live when they toured with Madness a couple of years ago. First time I've ever seen them live and they were absolutely brilliant!

We had Squeeze by and led for our university student hall summer ball the year they had their first big hit Cool for Cats. We were pleased that they honoured such a small event at the original very low fee, which had been agreed before tye single came out.

The other two acts had n the night were Marmalade, who were well past their fame and Reckless Eric

 

[Evil Jimmy Krankie]

If you mean the very first one it was this I think from The Spinning Disk in town.

I’m fairly certain that the first proper record I bought was AC/DC’s Highway To Hell album. It was actually a cassette and I bought it from Boots in the town centre. It’s amazing what four years did to my music education.

My wife bought me one and I got the old 45's out, the sound quality through a decent set of speakers is amazing.

Fantastic song, but Cool for cats has the best innuendo line, "I'm invited in for coffee so I gave the dog a bone"
