UHF - Jorge Morreu EP 1979

Beautiful memories and moments with this sound.

1978, in Almada a band of four guys wanting to take revenge on the music. The group was formed by Américo Manuel (drums), Carlos Perez (bass guitar), Renato Gomes (guitar) and Antonio Manuel Ribeiro (vocals, guitar). The group's first concert was on November 20, 1978. This is the first release by our all time fave band UHF from Portugal and the EP 'Jorge Morreu' ('George Died') is about a death by Overdose. "The godfathers of Portuguese rock" played brilliant melodic power/punk/pop songs and they are big stars in their country. At that time UHF has traveled the entire country, and even do the first part of the concerts from the likes of Dr Feelgood and Elvis Costello and then they're in. I love them and if you think I'm crazy so listen to their songs and I'm sure you search this blog for more UHF stuff. A quite delicious sound and We both loved to listen them everytime. There is a second edition released (one year later I think) by this EP with different covers. Enjoy!
