THE COUNT BISHOPS - Speedball EP (1975)

A four track frenzy of dirty ass rock n' roll played at breakneck speed. The Count Bishops ripped apart four rockin' rhythm & blues standards with the raw gusto of the early Rolling Stones and Pretty Things. Opening with a red hot take of "Route 66" the leather clad ruffians rode a runaway train before going off the rails with an absolute scorchin' rendition of "Teenage Letter". Along with regulars on the pub rock circuit (Dr. Feelgood, Eddie & The Hot Rods, Ducks Deluxe and Little Bob Story), the Bishops paved the way for the young punks that would follow.
