Thanks Phil .. a great band and Bill's such an underrated guitarist.

This is from a John Peel session around 1975 ... small studio but a big sound.

Brilliant musician, I also liked his Red Noise incarnation as well.

For anyone who ain't heard some of it.



I can thank my older Brother for buying this EP. I was too young in 1979 to be buying in record stores, but not too young to listen,

Damn, I forgot what a beautifully tasteful player Bill is, thanks for sharing

A brilliant, brilliant guitarist.

I saw him on when I was at uni in the 80s; a flat mate was a huge fan and he sculpted an LP copy to look like the Axe Victim cover.

(He was ripped off by the industry, though.)

Bill produces an average of three or four albums a year ..... check out his output:

I loved Be Bop Deluxe from Sunburst Finish and heard them at the Capital Cinema in Cardiff on that tour. 

As a horny teen, I was very turned on by the album cover..... 

Also heard Red Noise at the Students Union and couldn't keep my eyes of Bill's hands!

Great band. Modern Music is one of my all time fave albums.
