Today I'm bringing more rare goodness from The Bottom Line.

The Inmates played 2 nights and the 2nd night was broadcast.

The Inmates are a British pub rock band, which formed after the split up of The Flying Tigers in 1977.

In the early 1980s, they had a international hit with a cover of The Standells' "Dirty Water"

and a UK Top 40 hit with their cover of Jimmy McCracklin's "The Walk".

The song led directly to them recording their debut album.

Around 1981, the lead singer Bill Hurley became ill following a breakdown, and his place was taken for some time

by Barrie Masters, who had recently split with Eddie and the Hot Rods.

The Inmates continued to record and tour with Masters until he decided to reform the Hot Rods, and Hurley was well enough to

return to fronting the Inmates. In 1987, The Inmates recorded Meet The Beatles, a live album of Beatles'cover version songs.

As of 2013, The Inmates are still working and touring, especially in continental Europe.

They still have four of the original five band members, and continue to play both original songs and covers.

The Inmates first performance in the US was on Feb 3, 1980 at Sing Sing Prison, Ossining, NY.

Their second gig was in New Haven followed by 2 nights at the Bottom Line.

Thanks to BR for recording this off the radio so many years ago.

They end the show with the Chuck Berry cover of 'Let It Rock'.

And with a guitar player named Peter Gunn, well... they should have played that in their set.

I added a couple newspaper clippings inside the torrent.
