Reposted due to a minor omission, one track missing and its a real gem as well, Uh Oh!! now included.Yet another classic from the Bruce Rhodes collection. This is the second EP from 'The Avengers' produced by Steve Jones whom they met when they supported the Sex Pistols in Winterland. I love 'American In Me' (is it me or can I hear a little of Green Days, American idiot - surely they wouldn't of copied).
The Avengers are still playing and you can follow them and some of their music at their myspace site here http://www.myspace.com/avengers and if you want to know more about them then check out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_(band) as well.
I sometimes wonder whether they were happy with the choice of their band name, do a Google and you get a famous (classic) UK TV program and
a famous American comic both with the same name and you have to trawl a fair way down before finding this excellent band.Band: The Avengers
Label: White Noise
Year: 1979
Tracks:
1. American In Me
2. Uh Oh!!
3. Corpus Christi
4. White Nigger
Ripped from Bruce's glorious scratched vinyl
If you like this then you can still track down a few collections of singles and sessions (some of them on their myspace site). You can still get this one through Amazon, but its not cheap
