Teenage Licks / Ontinuous Performance = 2 CD = (CD)
2015 two CD set containing a pair of albums by the British blues band plus live bonus tracks. At the start of the 1970's, creativity was flourishing like never before and musicians were being encouraged to "think outside of the box". "We used a Stylophone (toy keyboard) in the studio," recalls vocalist Maggie Bell "And Leslie (guitarist Les Harvey) used both a fiddle bow and a vibrator to get sounds from his guitar!" Having recorded and released no less than two albums (Stone the Crows and Ode To John Law) in the space of 12 months a new look STC showed their paces with 1971's Teenage Licks. The band though were dealt a massive blow on May 3rd 1972 when Les Harvey was electrocuted onstage at The Swansea Top Rank and died. The band elected to try and carry on and JIMMY McCulloch (Thunderclap Newman) joined and finished off the recording parts for the band's album Ontinuous Performance. The album charted in the UK at #33 but as Maggie said "The fire had gone out of us. When Les died we lost something so in 1973 we split".
