A thread that will mean nothing to anybody except Ken and me ...

This forum has a tried and trusted, albeit sad tradition in failing to realize the magic that was Strappps ...

I didn't know that TV footage of them even existed. Nice Ric sound too. And what a handsome chap Ross Stagg (singer, guitarist and chief songwriter) was! You'd never know he was Australian really. Aussie Roo'n'Rollers generally look like people that play in AC/DC or - worse still - Airbourne (ducking from the boomerangs ...).

Good grief... has the down-turn in business hit your profession, too...?

Nice find...

Did some digging and there's quite a bit of stuff to look at (Curses, that damned German has found my Achiles heel...

)

Don't forget that (local to me) Mr Underwood had quite a bit of a track-record both pre and post Strapps, not to mention the multiple links in Pete Frames' DP family tree...

Don't forget Herr Moderator that I have the only copy of a Strapps disc on U.S. shores! Courtesy of you

... and she's known for her impeccable taste, too...

She just liked the cover of the first Strapps album me thinks ... That kind of appealed to her.

I never could figure out what was going on in that cover shot - that's a left boot...

Save when involving furry rodents, your imagination leaves much to be desired, Ken!
