Ralph and Henry c1976

 At my parents' house copying the Stupidity album cover pic. This line-up busked in Frome Town Centre. We soon got a bassist (Ivan) and a drummer (Bunse) who was very young (about 14 - me and Ivan were 16) but it never stopped us getting gigs in pubs. We never got stopped from drinking. I drank from about 14, in village pubs that didn't care.

Here we are in 1978. 

Stupidity Dr Feelgood 1976

 Stupidity (Dr. Feelgood album) - Wikipedia

This came out September 1976. It got to number 1 without a single. It was probably their high point certainly of the Wilko period. I remember borrowing Henry of the Ba Detectives' copy as I was too poor to buy it for myself.
