Description

One of the most sought after Mod Revival Records of all time

THE DIRECTIONS

Side 1: Three Bands Tonite

Side 2: On the Train

Label: torch records

Year: 1979

Record condition = Excellent

Sleeve Condition = Very Good

 

Hailing from the Shepherds bush area of London, where formed in late 1978, The DIRECTIONS were a popular attraction at the Fulham Greyhound and 101 Club. Their sole 45 is the jewel in the crown of many mod collections as most of the 2,000 copies pressed were ruined when their manager's basement was flooded. This means it is now extremely hard to find and very expensive. "Three Bands Tonite" tells the story of a disasterous gig where only The Directions were prepared to go on with the show. The Teenbeats and The Sta-Prest 'wanna take their money and go', so the song goes.
