Track 0171: ONE CHORD WONDERS (Smith) 2:58 (BLITZKRIEG BOP) (1st July 1977)
Musicians: John Hodgson – lead vocals, Ann Hodgson – guitar, backing vocals, Mick Hylton – bass guitar, Alan Cornforth – drums
Recorded: Bowes Wine Cellar, Darlington (live performance) stereo cassette recorder + Heathkit mixer
After a band meeting it was decided the we would carry on as a four piece, with Ann continuing to play rhythm guitar, whilst I took on any “lead” parts with my synthesizer, which up until them had been gathering dust.
After a week of intense rehearsals the band commenced a series of gigs at places they hadn't played at before, first at The Black Swan in Guisborough, then the Bowes Wine Cellar in Darlington.
Ann took the new role in her stride and the band sounded simpler, and more punchy, perfectly demonstrated by this storming version of “One Chord Wonders”.
