Steve's releases

This music was recorded at Hope & Anchor between Tuesday November 22nd and Thursday December 15th 1977.

It contains a mix of both new wave, pub rock and punk.

A Big Thank You to Paul Williams in England who sent me this record. He also supplied me with most of the tracks by Gibbons former bands The Ugly's and Balls.

Here you have some of the pictures from the inlay of the LP. I picked my favourites.
