<html><div style='background-color:'>APB?!&nbsp; Does anyone outside of
New York know who&nbsp;they are?&nbsp; I don't know how many times I saw
them.&nbsp; Usually at the old Ritz in New York, and at a couple clubs on
Long Island, where the bouncers would become so confounded by moshing they'd
rush to the front of the stage and pull us apart as if there was a fight
going on,&nbsp;then threaten to throw us out.&nbsp; I even saw Fishbone (one
of THE greatest bands of all time) open for them once.

<DIV class=RTE>
As we understood it after time, New York and Long Island were the only
places on earth where&nbsp;APB were popular, including in their homeland of
Scotland.&nbsp; Any global gatherers want to weigh in?&nbsp; And why
did it have to rain today?
And, to bolster Alex's list, Gary Moore also does an Over The Hills And
Far Away.

unlikely pairs Yeah, I have an APB compilation that I fuckin'
love. Always a poor man's Gang of Four (and that's being exceptionally
kind), but they had some great singles, notably "Shoot You Down". Great
crackly sound to that record. Cheers, Alex in
