Incredible Alex from Scotland and his sensational band - that's it. Alex had wonderful charismatic persona and unbelievable imagination. Skiffle , blues, rock 'n' roll, glam rock, theatre, comic strips, movies, pirates, main stream hits etc. - all mixed together in one soup. If you listen just one or two of their songs, it's impossible to understand what it's all about, 'cos songs are so different. But the most important thing to remember is that this was mainly a stage band.

There is rather many live sessions here, but I wanted to upload some of his studio recordings, not best sellers, but fine examples.

I hope owners of the rights want to see this as an honor to these fine artists.

And same goes to these random photos, which I have found from net.

My hope is that everyone can just listen to these great musicians. Enjoy!

It's so nice, that you can still buy these recordings for example on CD, mine is an old vinyl album!

Has anyone got the video of Alex doing this at Greens Playhouse, Glasgow with those 2 (3?) girls on stage?

Yep. Then they danced with their bum cheeks either side of Alex's face cheeks. You can hear it on the track 2:45.

Alex and the band still send that shiver down the spine nearly 40 years on. Saw them once in my youth and what a band they were. I still remember it and as my first show it set the benchmarck for all future gigs. Got it right first time I reckon. Absolutely brilliant.

@TheZxc22 Saw the three ladies when SAHB did a gig in Victoria, London in 76 ( I think this track was recorded during that tour ). They were wearing full length cocktail frocks and came on stage dancing sideways, which went down pretty well. Then they turned round. Dresses with no backs at all. Brought the house down and no mistake....
