The Little Roosters: That's How Strong My Love Is (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/pup-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!).





The second single, has two non-album tracks, the tough R&B-style ballad on the A-side backed with a more glam-ish B-side, "Suspicious".
 
Tracklist
A That's How Strong My Love Is
B Suspicious



 


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!)


MRML readers, don't let Roberto and me down on this Strummer-fortified/Cock Sparrer-powered rock n' roll series! Do you want to hear more? Let us know in the COMMENTS section (where you'll find That's How Strong My Love Is).
