One of the most inexplicably under-rated combos in Rock history.

Tight band and great song-writing.

Why aren't they better known? What happened?

Looks like we'll probably never know.

I associate GP&TR with that slice of time around punk breaking and ebbing in the UK and bands like them and Dr Feelgood, just on the verge of breaking bigtime themselves, seemed to simply get left behind by the press. A case of shit timing.

Great band though!

Dr Feelgood were ace.

Been looking for a youtube vid of "Milk & Alcohol", but no luck.
