Drive Friendly
​
7" single 1980
SHH Four Records (SSH 4)
Produced by Pat Collier
​
A-Side: Drive Friendly (Carter/Moon/Thompson)
B-Side: Fast 'n' Bulbous / Grow Fins (Don Van Vliet)
Line-up consists of Chris on bass, Tony Moon on vocals for the A-Side and Bill on vocals on the B-Side. Oh, and Bill's on drums as well and did the cover artwork!
Lineup Tony Moon: vocals, harp, horn, jaw / Bill Carter: guitar / Chris Thompson: bass, acoustic and slide guitar / John Kingham: drums, percussion. Seamus Beaghen plays Hammond on 'Clean Shirt And A Shave'.
A great lost album and several hints of things to come with the Messiahs. Obviously the Flintstone song title, but also some lyrics from 'Drive Friendly' appear again on the Totally Religious track 'Nitro' ("She's black and evil with chrome all down the side"). Moon's stream-of-consciousness ranting vocal style will sound familiar too.
