Steady! Go! In 1970, Brooker, Trower, Copping and Wilson recorded an album called Ain't Nothing to Get Excited About as Liquorice
John Death, consisting mostly of tunes they had previously performed as The Paramounts. The tapes for the recording sessions were promptly
lost until the 1990s. They were finally released in album form in 1997. « hide |
