Through several personnel changes over a 35+ year history, British pub rock purveyors
Dr. Feelgood have continued to give the people what they want.
Their earliest efforts stand tall among the pioneers of Brit
'proto-punk'.
This raucous '77 LP was produced by Nick Lowe, and was their first release following the departure of the quartet's original guitarist, WIlko Johnson, earlier that year.
Band line-up from '77 to '81:
Vocals, Harmonica -Lee Brilleaux
Drums, Vocals -The Big Figure
Guitar -John "Gypie" Mayo
Bass, Vocals -John B Sparks

(UA Records, 1977),
