Bad News


One of our kind visitors left links to this heavy metal madness.. There is no art in the archive, so you may wish to grab the above. The links are in the comments here. There is no Floyd connection.. But, this album was made by some of the same folks who made the Neil's Heavy Concept album. (Neil's the tall one in the image above.)

I remember buying this on vinyl! I have some good bad news bootlegs if they are any use to you.

There are ... bootlegs? I had no idea that they even performed live...

If you don't mind sharing, I think we'd like to give them a spin!

Yes, i don't know how much of the history you know. These four guys are comics from an old UK TV show called the "young ones". After that they formed the band as part of their next TV project "Comic strip presents.." In 1986 they played the Donington monsters of rock heavy metal festival in the UK. Some of this was filmed. They then toured in 1986 and 1987. These boots are mp3 (sorry!) but very good quality

Youtube clips of the band live are here...

The Young Ones was pretty funny.
