The Blow Monkeys - Live from London

Britain in the early 80s saw the emergence of numerous New Wave bands and on the crest was The Blow Monkeys. Fronted by the enigmatic Dr Robert the band was an immediate sensation and were captured live on the stage at the Camden Palace in 1985 as part of the Live From London series. Featuring the original line-up of Dr Robert, Neville Henry, Mick Anker and Tony Kiley, the band perform hits including Man From Russia, The Tom Jones classic It's Not Unusual, Forbidden Fruit and Marc Bolan's Get It On. The multi-talented songwriter, guitarist, pianist and lead singer Dr. Robert (Bruce Robert Howard) formed the Blow Monkeys in 1981, along with Mick Anker (bass), Neville Henry (saxophone) and Tony Kiley (drums). Their first single Live Today Love Tomorrow was released the following year but their debut album Limping For A Generation wasn't released until 1984 along with the singles Go Public , Man From Russia and Atomic Lullaby . But it was was a further 2 years before success began to come the Blow Monkeys way, with the release of their second studio album Animal Magic and in particular the single Digging Your Scene which peaked at number 12 in the UK singles chart, number 14 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was equally successful across much of Europe. More chart success followed in 1987 with their third album She Was Only A Grocer's Daughter from which the single It Doesn t Have to Be This Way reached number 5 in the UK. (full notes on sleeve).
