Bob Stanley / Pete Wiggs Present Three Day Week: When The Lights WentOut 1972-1975 / Various [Import]

• Track Listing

Strikes, food and oil shortages, inflation…England was in a grey place in the early-to-mid-’70s, and these were the pop-music outcries: "When Work Is Over" Kinks, "I’m on Fire" Troggs, "Urban Guerilla" Hawkwind, "Open Up" Mungo Jerry, "Stardust" David Essex, "Mole on the Dole" Climax Chicago, "What Ruthy Said" Cockney Rebel, "Home Fit for Heroes" Edgar Broughton Band, "Breathless" Bombadil, "Don’t Ride a Paula Pillion" Stavely Makepeace, "In Your Life" Adam Faith and more. You’ll hear laughter through gritted teeth, cynicism and frustration, and rising anger that surfaced as punk a few years later…26 tracks on CD (by stars as well as obscure artists), or 28 on double vinyl! Ace.
