I don't know for sure what people's opinions are on The Professionals. Personally, I really like the couple of albums that they did (here I am talking about the band in the early 1980's). What did they brand this music? Power Pop? Rich Kids got lumped in as well I think. It wasn't Sex Pistols for sure, although 'Silly Thing' is the best 'non-Sex Pistols' song that Sex Pistols did!
The Professionals bootlegs that I have heard to date have all been pretty rough sounding. This one from New Orleans on their 1982 US tour is a cut above those that I have heard, quality wise.
I saw the band (without Jones) a few times and still thought they were pretty good. I was at their last gig at the 100 Club a couple of years ago, after which came the unexpected announcement that they had made the decision to call it a day. At that time we were not to know that a big Pistols reunion was just around the corner and was the reason for the parting of the ways.
Many thanks again to mark for sharing this one with me (and you). Cheers!
