Border's "Song For J." came out in 1978 - too late for the pub/country-rock trend and too early for any NWOBHM-interest in the top-solid axe wielding. Maybe it could drink in the same pub as The Brills' "Burst Of Old Flames". Got a good amount of Be Bop Deluxe about it, don't you think?
In the ol' 'Revs, wot we have is:
EP
1- SONG FOR J (T. Smith) //
2- EASY (T. Smith)
3- GOING AWAY (T. Smith)
11/78- Pear Rec. PRMS-001 ps - 7”
**1/2
A rock band from the Cleveland area (North-
East of England) formed in 1977 by Terry
Smith (v/gtr), Dave Smith (b) and Stephen
Doneathy (d), Border recorded their lone EP
in September 1978 and released the single in
November on their own Pear Records (an obvious
spoof on The Beatles’ Apple) in an edition
of a few hundred copies, almost all sold
locally.
