Mastered at NLBF: The Proles “Kings Road Tapes 1979” on Nausea Records.
Released April 25, 2024
“Legendary London Punk Rock formed in 1978 in Raynes Park featuring Dave “Fergie” Fergusson on vocals after he met Lol, John and Dave in a Punishment of Luxury gig at the London Marquee.
Oy! Oy! Oy! was written by John in mid-78. It was their first song. The first line of the lyrics was taken from kids TV show ‘Rainbow’! Were they the first Oy! band???
After various rehearsals at Dave’ s attic bedroom they managed to get their first gig at a youth club called “The Link” in Wimbledon
The first demo was recorded in a cheap studio in April 1979 and it almost secured them a deal with Chiswick Records but unfortunately the band split up later that year
The mini Lp features the whole 1979 4-track Demo plus previously unreleased rehearsal and live recordings. Total of 9 tracks of pure snotty punk rock like it is supposed to be done!”
