URBAN DOGS - s/t LP 1983

Let's come to another fantastic record, the Urban Dogs debut on Fallout Records. Info: "Instead of moving forward, we retreated and after three consecutive nights at CBGB marking the end of our tour, we flew back to the UK where we had arrived in early 1983, exhausted, discouraged, and fearful for the future of the UK Subs back in London, Charlie and I, eager for a change of scenery, had put together a garage-style line-up with Knox (Vibrators) and Andy McCoy (Hanoi Rock) on guitars, plus Matthew Best (a friend of Captain Sensible) on drums. We toured England as the Urban Dogs, and released an album of boozy covers of old New York Dolls & Iggy Pop & The Stooges classics, in addition with own material. Despite this interesting side project, the question of the future of the UK Subs remained unanswered..." (Alvin Gibbs) - Those are the basics. You will find far more than twelve songs in this file, and that's a surprise and I know you will be thrilled... enjoy!
