This mini LP was sent to me from my friend Tim in Taree who
found this gem in a second hand record shop. According to my books it was
released in 1985 and they were a Sydney band. This is the only recording the
band released, “A Beer and a Bex” (KBT-789) on Seahorse Productions. David
Davies – guitar & vocals penned all four tracks, other members are Mark
Elliott – sax, Larry Freidberg – drums, Rupert Jeans – guitar, Ralph Marshall –
bass and Rada – keyboards. At this time that’s all there is on this great
Rock/Blues band. After having a listen to this mini LP all it left me with is
wanting more, a very good album indeed, like the man said “Do yourself a favour”.
Thanks Tim. mp3

Just finished listening to this and what a brilliant band.
David Davies sounds so much like a young Mick Jagger it's not funny, and the guitar work by Rupert Jeans is amazing - great 'slick licks' and very, very cool.
Highly recommend this to anyone reading this !
Thanks so much for the share mate and thanks to Tim also
