Just managed to pick up one of these. I know John has one on his site (Carl W's old copy) but can anyone give me some idea of it's history on the scene I can't remember hearing it out anywhere. I had it on an old sales tape from the early 80's (I think) but as is usual the list that went with the tape has long gone. I did well remembering the group name and wouldn't have done without seeing it for sale. One of those where you think 'I think I know that and think I remember liking it' usually when they actually arrive you remebered it because it was crap and you already have a copy . Thankfully not this time. Any info gratefully received.

Do you have a sound file Ged?!

Unfortunately not. The firms firewall prevents me downloading them to my works laptop. I am hearing now that the Underbeats were a forerunner to the James Walsh Gypsy Band? Sure someone can confirm or other wise.

Definitely forerunner to Gypsy and then James Walsh Gypsy Band. Single is the only outing on Metrobeat, other stuff came out on Garrett, Banger, Twin Town, Soma, Dunwich and Pip. The stuff on Soma and Dunwich was as "Hot Half Dozen" but essentially the same group.Can't help on whether or not it was played out.
