Like a rock

“Irish singer Dickie Rock trying to look cool.   I’ve got an album with a slightly different cover (it’s cropped a bit). I have no idea what it sounds like, having no record player, I just keep it for the awesome badness of the cover.

“It’s a Chevrolet, man, it’s gotta be cool.”

“It’s a Corvair FFS….but nice jumper.”

Some years later (1975) several members of the band were murdered in an ambush by terrorists and members of the British Army, allegedly supervised by an undercover SAS man, who was himself subsequently murdered.   Cheers, Joe Smith, Bath, England”

Thanks Joe!
