My very favourite band and another of my unhealthily, all-compassing obsessions is this band from Oldham. I’ve got just about everything there is to own of theirs, from official releases to newspaper cuttings to old ticket stubs and backstage passes. I have a ticket to their 50th anniversary show this year which I’m delighted to say sold out within about 48 hours. A song they released under the pseudonym of Bombadil, “When the city sleeps” appeared on LOM in two episodes for some bizarre reason. I’ve already checked the episode music guides and am very impressed that their disguise did not fool the Guv! Any other fans? Or shall I keep quiet?

Not at all DI. When the city sleeps is a great track.

Seem to remember a track by them called Life is made for living which was pretty good

I have to say, of their entire output, I would probably rate Life is For Living as the track I enjoy the least, but each to their own! :) I'm glad you've heard of them, at least!
Their sound changed dramatically, as is I suppose unsurprising. A small taster for anyone with nothing better to do! (chosen short, hopefully accessible songs)
60s: Poor Wages
70s: Titles
80s: Just a Day Away

You’ve got some interesting and good musical tastes, DI Drake.
Check out the Top of the pops and retro chart threads, you will no doubt find some stuff mentioned there you will like
