NEW 7"
Detour Records
Well, here it is...... The long-awaited next instalment in our popular Picture Disc series. It seems like the last one was ages ago but the turnaround times at pressing plants have been a nightmare but, we got there in the end!!
This is SEVENTEENTH release in the CLASSIC '79 SERIES and TWENTY FIRST picture disc in total since we started doing these picture discs.
This was a important release for DETOUR to do as we felt that this band has been somewhat over looked over the years as they never got to release any records like their counterparts back in the day and only the real collectors amongst us knew about them. We actually told their story when we released a 13 track CD with them back in 2010.
Along with Speedball, the Leepers were one of the first Mod bands to form in Southend-On-Sea in Essex and to prove how early they were, Gary the singer appeared in the film QUADROPHENIA as an extra. This is a screen shot of him just before Sting rode in. Gary is the one in the middle with blonde hair and dark shades.
On this FOUR track EP, we have featured our favourite tracks that are taken off our CD album entitled "Back in the day". if this band is new to you, check the album out too...
