The Purple Helmets - Ride Again

Most peculiar band. Essentially begun out of boredom. Two of the Stranglers (JJ Burnell & Dave Greenfield) teamed up with a Vibrator (John Ellis) and Tear For Fear (Manny Elias). Because there was downtime with their current bands, they got together and thrashed out a heap of covers: Louie Louie, Woolly Bully, Don't Bring Me Down, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, Can't Explain, All day And All Of The Night etc etc. It's a rippa. Released in 1998.

  1. Mr Weird & Wacky, Thank you! Your years of service have been thoroughly browsed and where necessary downloaded from. It's been...interesting, entertaining and just plain fucking awesome. I see that it's been a minute since your last post, which is not unusual, but fucking annoying. Please post more Dirty Oz Punk
