Yes, this is pretty weird!
A mate of mine was into them so I got to see them a few times (Buckley, Mold, Chester) and I have to admit I liked them at the time, but as I said, punk kind of killed them off. I still remember a punk I knew having seen them live and complaining that they'd done a number about dolphins - "in 1977 for gods sake"!!
Did you ever hear their vaguely new wave single Rockin' Rachmaninov? It was almost a bit of a novelty type 45 - Peel played it apparently. Still got a copy somewhere!
