Extra-Infos: 1977 Chsiwick Album
Description:Punk rock was all the rage in 1977, but that didnâ??t bother the Count Bishops: five unashamedly blokes, emerging from the bars and clubs of London, with a solid rockâ??nâ??rollinâ?? sound that some thought retrograde and others timeless. At the very least, they could claim to be the finest Polish, Australian, American, English band in town. This was the debut of singer Dave Tice, who joined the original line-up of Zennon De Fleur (rhythm guitar and haulage), Johnny Guitar (guitar), Steve Lewins (bass) and Paul Balbi on drums. As tight a unit as you could wish for, they produced a driving, raucous rhythm and blues. The LP is a mix of originals, blues tunes and classic 60s covers, all played with plenty of meat on the bone. Julian Holland is credited as piano on â??Down The Road Apieceâ??, and I wonder whatever happened to him. Vic Maile, one of the countryâ??s finest engineers, pushed faders and worked magic on the audio. Two originals, â??Baby Youâ??re Wrongâ?? / â??Stay Freeâ?? became the single off the album and the band hit the road with Motörhead. If you remember being on that tour, you werenâ??t. Itâ??s a record that has stood the test of time, when some of their punkier contemporaries now sound of their time. The sleeve of the first issue was printed on the reverse of the board, giving it a suitable gritty, rough cut look that we have reproduced here as best possible 45 years later. The blurred photograph on the front lends them an air of menace, a bunch of long hairs in a time of short cuts. They went on to one more studio album before Zenon died as a result of a crash in his Aston Martin, which he had lovingly restored. The four remaining members reformed in 2005 for the Ace 30th anniversary party at Dingwalls Dancehall in Camden Town and they still rocked the house. - 1977 CHSIWICK ALBUM
Yes, this is WIK 1, the very first Chiswick album from 1977. The Count Bishops, along with Dr Feelgood, were the hottest R&B band of the mid 70's. Features the young Julian 'Jools' Holland on piano for one track. Previously unreleased on CD and comes in a cardboard replica of the LP sleeve. 12 total tracks. Big Beat. 2005.
"The Count Bishops" is a classic album by the British rock band Count Bishops, released in CD format by Chiswick Records. This energetic collection captures the raw power and rhythm & blues spirit that made the group a staple of London's pub rock scene in the late 1970s. The album features driving guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and infectious rhythms that pay homage to early rock 'n' roll while carving out their own distinctive sound. Standout tracks like "I Take What I Want" and "Baby You're Wrong" showcase their ability to blend high-octane energy with authentic songwriting. Count Bishops were pioneers of the pub rock movement, known for their electrifying live performances and relentless touring schedule. Their influence paved the way for many punk and new wave acts that followed. With several acclaimed releases under their belt, including this self-titled album, they remain an important part of British music history. Chiswick Records is renowned as one of Britain's first independent labels dedicated to bringing fresh talent from underground scenes into mainstream recognition. Founded in 1975, Chiswick played a crucial role in launching careers of influential artists across punk, new wave, and rock genres.
