Last of the Teenage Idols

[quarkwrok]

Favourite SAHB song from favourite SAHB album. Is it me or does Patti Smith owe a lot to this?

[charcolew]

Utterly and totally brilliant stuff from a true Scottish genius... and that band were truly sensational... Thanks for an ace post...

[beinndorainjames]

Great song, brilliant band.

[OBJOYFULL1]

Love SAHB wish you had posted part 3 though? And the album version of Impossible Dream . Thanks for posting this all the same :)

[IdleAl]

Like virtually everything Alex did, this is simply wonderful.

Thanks for posting but priapus 56 is right - you really shouldn't have left off the ending. This is a brilliant track, the sha-la-la-lahs at the close giving it that slightly edgy feel that SAHB were all about.

next to "anthem" this is my favourite harvey band song...  greatest Scottish band/artist thats ever lived ... before my time to see them live but did see the new band in glasgow a few years ago, tbh, didnt know what to think of the new singer ...

[obmav]

eraffel - post it plz!

[1959child]

The ultimate rock band.. FUCK YOU who beg to differ, they are IDOLS!!!!

[Lysdexia]

The greatest Scottish star of all. Truly the last of the teenage idols.

[penard58]

another Glasgow genius

I found a NEWLY RELEASED SAHB album in a record store in San Francisco. "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Live at the BBC" was released in 2009. It is mind blowing. SAHB is the greatest musical band in the history of recorded music. Period.

WHADDYA DONE!!! YOU NUT!! You've left off the spoof at the end!! La-la-la-LA! La-la-la-LA.....

[tarkusiconoclast]

I have never seen a live band grab an audience the way that these did.

[rhythmrancher]

Thanks for posting this, it's one of the best songs ever!

[CBXTREV]

This band were pure fucking genius - this track along with Give my compliments to the chef and faith healer are so underrated - saw them live in the mid 70s.

[sophiaturbo]

прямо-таки эпическая по мощи вещь!

[HordeVengeance]

Alex is a sound track for my id

Bertolt Breck would be proud.

[programkill]

where's the last bit ? :(

[rhythmrancher]

@programkill I know, it's the perfect ending for the perfect song!

[programkill]

@rhythmrancher sha la la la la etc dunno if you know but Alex did actually win a talent competition in the late 50's i think, to become the UK's next Tommy Steele ( google at your own risk lol )

[MrSidneyAgain]

Thank God someone has finally posted a decent sounding version of this awesome track.  One of my favourite tracks by a true legend.!!

[Grumpy0007]
