With their first studio album Don't Point Your Finger (1981) the Londoners showed their lively and energetic side. Driving, stirring rhythms, a roaring harmonica, funny lyrics (one title is called "Don't Point Your Finger At The Guitar Man" - how true!) and a slightly punkish voice radiate good mood from the first to the last minute. The current issue comes with an eight-page, highly informative supplement and a bonus CD... The Third Degree (1982), written almost entirely by guitarist/singer Dennis Greaves, also appears as a double-decker (eight-page booklet). The first CD contains the so-called Simon Boswell Sessions, which were also released. The record company had previously rejected the album, which had been produced by the producer icon Glyn Johns, although it is certainly not worse, even if it is more reserved. All in all the band is developing towards Wave/Rock on both albums. Some fans didn't like this, but it was justified.
