The Little Roosters: I Need A Witness (1980)

Roberto's Rarities:
An irregular MRML series powered by the wild generosity of our reader, Roberto: Enjoy and don't forget to leave our benefactor a thank-you comment.

 

The Little Roosters, who share three members with Oi! founders, Cock Sparrer and one associate member with synth-poppers, Yaz [!], impressed a lot of people with their glam-rock/pub-rock/rock-rock style, including one Joe Strummer. The Clash-man, in fact, produced much of the band's discography and was supposedly paid back with new teeth (no, really!).

This single, their third of four, shows the capital-R rock n' roll sound in full-force, with two stomping R&B/Blues-lovin originals sure to appeal to a generation or three of rockers.

MRML readers, don't let Roberto and me down on this new series! Do you like this Strummer-fortified/Cock Sparrer-powered rock n' roll????? Let us know in the COMMENTS section (where you'll find I Need A Witness)

For the band's only full-length LP go visit the brilliant Sons of the Dolls (and don't forget to drop a word of thanks to Midnight Rambler over there!)
