It’s a stuff of legend, as most of the things with Twink, the drummer of TOMORROW and PRETTY THINGS, and Syd Barrett, the crazy diamond of PINK FLOYD. The two (in)famously had a joint venture in 1972, STARS, short-lived and with no recorded legacy. Yet prior to that Roger Barrett and John Alder, as they were known to their mothers, played together in a different formation. Called THE LAST MINUTE PUT TOGETHER BOOGIE BAND, the ensemble emerged when Twink started working with American singer Bruce Michael Paine, soon to join STEAMHAMMER, and ex-JUNIOR’S EYES bassist John “Honk” Lodge, who also played in 1969 on Twink’s now-cult “Think Pink” album. Soon, though, Honk would be replaced by the ex-IN CAHOOTS Jack Monck (looks like the guys worked on a phonetic pattern: Twink, Honk, Monck…). And it was this this line-up, plus special guests, that played a set at Cambridge Corn Exchange on January 27th 1972

The artifact has been properly restored and mastered and will be out in May.
