i'm going to investigate Christ,the Album.Sounds interesting and new to me.As an old ska-ite I was pleased to see it getting popular again in the 70'80s.
The drummer can't be Mo from the Velvets 'cos he's a she.
still thinking...................

Their singles were better than the albums tbh. Bloody Revolutions from 1980 was another good record. If you look into the net at their artwork, it's superb.No mate, not Mo Tucker. Think surf twang...

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Tracks
Three to start the day with and your elusive drummer was…and we’ll dedicate this to Ginger Baker, who would no doubt have been influenced himself by this song amongst others. Quite ironic really.No.970: “Let There Be Drums” by Sandy Nelson (1961)
I love the enormously addictive beat, the “surf” guitar (played by Richard Podolor – who perhaps should have been more famous?) is reminiscent of those early sixties hits from The Ventures and Surfaris.
No.969: “Hold On! I’m Coming” by Sam & Dave (1966)
Into the Atlantic soul scene with one of this duo’s biggest songs, following their international smash ‘Soul Man’. This was made more popular for its use by The Blues Brothers in the 1980 film.
No.968: “Paper Sun” by Traffic (1967)
Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi with their slice of hippie heaven from 1967. Winwood of course went on to form Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and of course, Ginger Baker. Great single.
It’s been quite spooky how Baker has connections with two of these songs I’ve posted today after he passed on yesterday.
More later.
