EDDIE MOONEY & THE GRAVE - Lost 1978 Demos EP 2019

Hello folks, I hope the weekend is cozy and runs. Let me enter with more rare tracks which were excavated two years agoEddie Mooney is an English rock and pop vocalist/bassist and in 1975 he moved to Manchester where he formed the progressive rock band "Accidents" with keyboardist Paul McKavanagh and drummer Alan Arenstein. Popular on the student circuit, the band survived the onset of punk, releasing their only Execution EP on their own Eye label. By 1978 Mooney had gone solo and, with backing group the Grave, featuring guitarist Mike Rowbottom and drummer Chris Fisher, he was signed to independent Manchester label TJM Records. In 1978 the label released the bizarre I Bought Three Eggs single, frequently played by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel. Although it didn't chart, the track attained cult status being re-released on the White Dopes On Punk compilation in 2005 and again on vinyl via the German Still Unbeatable label in 2009. And they put out three more 1978 lost recordings which never released before and this EP shines with four catchy gruffy goodies, one as brand new bonus track and was limited to 83 copies with liner notes from Eddie. Superb lost nugget!
