Featuring the musical dexterity of Don (Two Sheds) Spade and Alan (Sticks) Rickards

Virtually talentless though Fred Flush, and indeed the entire Chain Gang, may well have been, it is not without a certain nostalgia (an emotion akin to the regard felt by a dog for its long-lost breakfast) that enthusiasts regard their mid-1960s recordings.

"Lost" L.P.

The gratifying response to the recent re-issue of material by this seminal band encouraged Tat Records to produce a further compilation. This L.P. was not issued in the 1960s because the group's manager, Isaac Fastbuck, refused to sign a most unfair contract drawn up by the Chain Gang's legal eagles under which the group would actually have been entitled to royalties.

"The Kords, 1964 - 1969"

One little known fact which is revealed in the copious sleeve notes to this collector's item is that the only truly live performance of the Kords was an impromptu lunchtime session in the hall of Grays County Technical School, Hathaway Road, Grays, Essex on 21st July 1965. What is not known is the number of impressionable young people who suffered severe attacks of sickness through eating their lunches at the same time as this noise polution (now there's a good name for a group!).

Participants:
Don Spade (lead guitar, rhythm guitar*, bass guitar**);
Graham Wood (rhythm guitar);
John Richardson (bass guitar, rhythm guitar**);
Alan Rickards (drums);
Vocals collectively by various unidentified group personnel to avoid the blame being placed on any one individual.
