Subject: RE: British Rock n Roll
Just a quickie, i forgot to say, i would like to exclude Billy Fury from the list of wannabees that i stated earlier, he was a class act, anyone heard the album "The Sound of Fury"... a self penned album, recorded in an afternoon,,, Joe Brown on lead guitar, and because there was no one in Britain at the time who could play slap bass, they used 2 bass players, one to play notes, the other to slap the notes... Ive heard it said that if the early "Cliff" was Britains answer to Elvis, then "Billy Fury" was definitely our "Eddie Cochran",,,, and please, dont get me started on him, he was an absolute genius....
