Supercharge - Local Lads Make Good (1976)

From The Lost Record Covers Club

Music and laughter - couldn't be better.  These guys must have had a ball.  They had a number of releases on Virgin (This was their first).  Whilst some of the tracks here seemed at the time to parody the extremes of what was going on in rock and RnB, the passing of time means that it just now seems very real(!) I first heard them on the lead single "Lonely And In Love" a very pop/soul track.  Someone then pointed out the joke song "She Moved The Dishes First" surely the only song ever written about pissing in the sink.  That (not very funny) track aside there is lots to attract you to this.  Produced by "Mutt" Lange the musicianship is great and the full-on arrangements deliver.
