Larry Wallis is a Police Car

So on top of his impressive resume as a member of The Pink Fairies, Motorhead, Blodwyn Pig, UFO, and as the in house producer for Stiff Records, Larry Wallis is also some sort of police car as evidenced by his 1978 single. This is a pretty dated, but utterly cool little record. You'll wish you were a police car.

    Sweet tune! Though I'm more familiar with the killer 7.42 (album?) version where he's got time for plenty solos.

    Also, can't ever hear the line "It's a hungry black and white" without thinking of a cat we had when I was a kid...

    Ah yes, love this. "love" is a bit strong, but anyway.

    "Love" is not a strong enough word for how much I personally adore this song. So cool!

    My dad used to always sing this song when I was a kid. I'd have gotten round to listening again if I had known he was in all these great bands, especially pink fairies.

    if it ain't stiff, it ain't worth a fuck

    I think you have an echo, or somebody has an uncanny sense of timing. Is plagiarism the new form of flattery?
