Not quite forgotten, because they have got back together and were never that big in the first place, are The Only Ones. They have the former Spooky Tooth drummer, Mike Kellie and both bassist Alan Mair and guitarist John Perry had played in more distiguished bands. I always rated The Only Ones a cut above most of their contemporaries both musically and lyrically. I think they disappeared for a long time partly because of all the usual business disasters and the personal problems of their songwriter, the gifted, but erratic Peter Perret. A song like "The Beast", which is about a premonition of an unspecified danger, sounds eerily like a prediction of the AIDS catastrophe in retrospect. Does anyone else recall them?
