Here are The Lurkers in one of their many incarnations. By 1982, singer Howard Wall had departed and been replaced by Marc Fincham who teamed up with stalwarts, Pete Stride, Esso and Nigel Moore for a 1982 album release 'This Dirty Town'. The reunion was however short lived, as the band parted company once again in 1984.Artwork: https://we.tl/t-I5XpujdKMa

A Stride, Moore and Esso version of the band are back this year with a new album on Damaged Goods Records called Sex Crazy. How this version sits with Arturo's Lurkers I dunno and I'm no going to venture there.

I went to this show as well as the Jam gig - I remember Pete Stride's 'I'm On Heat once again' comment in the encore. A good raucous evening - The Rain is actually called The Ring. I thought this line up made some excellent records, it's a shame they didn't get an album out...
ReplyDeleteBut the album was released as 'This Dirty Town'.

DeleteThat's all the singles compiled I think? They broke up as they started recording a 'proper' album which would have included The Ring, Our House etc... Sex Crazy is really good by the way - you've got to love The Lurkers haven't you?
