Chelsea - Old Grey Whistle Test (1979)

A classic old bit of footage from the band with the greatest name in the world (and no I wasn't saying that last Saturday either!) From 1979 on BBC's epic Old Grey Whistle Test,I bring you non DVD quality footage of Chelsea. 3 Tracks from their self titled debut album. Best viewed on Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic due to old age Mpeg format.


And on the subject of Chelsea,I have re-upped lead vocalist Gene October's very good solo album on a higher bitrate (and without winrar errors!) which is available just by clicking http://rs502.rapidshare.com/files/379120446/Life_And_Struggle.rar

I've just been listening to the "Live At The Music Machine" that Marky Dread posted... top stuff. Great to have some footage to boot.

Thanx Longy!

thanks, great to have this, it's hard to find anything by this band. I really like the old grey whistle test. I know this band wouldn't fit here, but I've been after Japan's few appearances in decent quality for awhile.
