Joe's teeth
Re: Joe's teeth
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Joe's teeth
Come to think of it, Joe does look a bit gaunt in the Call Up video which would have been just before his treatment. He was looking and sounding much better in 81 and 82 with his new choppers. His vocals especially had improved massively live by 1982.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Is the album worth to trace?Marky Dread wrote: ↑22 Nov 2017, 8:32pmJoe produced The Little Roosters single "I Need A Witness" in late 1980. He also produced the bulk of their album (same session) which wasn't realeased until early 1981. So at a guess I would say Joe used the money for dental work somewhere between Nov '80 - Jan '81.
Check out Garrie Lammin's front tooth blacked out. A nod to Joe I reckon.
I must say I prefer Cock Sparrer's version.

I never knew about Cliff Cooper until I saw the doc Tales from Tin Pan Alley, in which his role in Denmark Street's history gets featured.
