I have heard worse things played on t'scene .......

The Band of Joy were a 1960s rock band from Birmingham, England .........

The band is notable as the last of several line-ups included two musicians, Robert Plant and John Bonham who went on to join Led Zeppelin ; and, to a lesser degree , because the band's roadie was Noddy Holder ..........

In respect of a Northern Soul connection , BOJ were formed by the late Vernon Pereira , who was related to Ian

" Pep " Pereira ...........

The Robert Plant track "You'd Better Run" on JM's site was also done by Ruby Jones on Curtom - had a few spins at Blackpool Mecca round 74/75.

Proper bloke that Robert Plant - Wolves fan - seen him at Molineux a few times.

If you have a quick search you'll find some publicity shots for the group "Listen" which I posted up a couple of months back. They came from a girl who used to go out with Rob Plant at the time they released "You better run", there was a scrapbook with handwritten letters, photos, even a copy of the record - she gave it to a mate of mine.

"You better run" was released at exactly the same time by The N'Betweens - two West Midlands groups releasing the same record at the same time, very strange.

My brother sat next to him this one match, Plant asked my brother if he could havge a look at his 'Load of Bull' and he forgot to give it back, so Andy wrote him a letter jokingly saying you can keep the magazine but can you send us an autographed photo or something like that, within a couple of weeks he'd received a letter, the photos, and his fanzine back.
