Driving up from Gatwick this afternoon, where I had just dropped off my missus and her mum/sister, a London radio station where doing an hours special on glam rock bands, a regular feature apparently. This afternoon's offering was Mud. I'll tell you what, Les Grey and chums didn't half knock out some great pop songs and they sounded just as good as they did when I was a nipper.

Most of their early singles were Chinn/Chapman songs that were rejected by The Sweet, things like Dyna-Mite and Hypnosis. Excellent sound and you're dead right Mr I, still sounds good today!

Also, they were on the mighty RAK label!

Aye, Mr Most did some good stuff.

Every time I see the 'MUD ON ROAD' sign I crack the dad type joke and the offspring haven't a clue what I'm on about :roll:
