Arrows, Bring Back The Fire, Arrows Show

Seventies Britpop teen heart-throbs the Arrows perform their song "Bring Back The Fire" in 1976. Due to a legal wrangle with their label, although they did the song many times on their TV series, this band penned song wasn't released on an album until the 2005 EMI records CD titled "Arrows / A's B's and Rarities."

Terrific UK & US merger of sounds. Two Americans and two Brits. Cool band.

[KeithTheKing]

@mangledapeman They did have a cross cultural mix in the music as a result of the band being 1/2 British and 1/2 American.

This is on the CD on EMI records titled "A's B's and Rarities"~

mmm...whats with the tartan swaying teenager girls in the background...were the bay city rollers guesting or is this band what i think they are ... bcr clones

[KeithTheKing]

You need new prescription glasses and a hearing aid. I see NO tartan. Swaying fans with banners are standard at pop shows, not reserved for any one group. Arrows sound nothing like the Rollers in any way at all, in fact, Arrows actually play their own instruments on their records. Phil Coulter brought in session players for the Rollers.

Ask him, he has a website and is very friendly and cooperative with replies about such things.

Terry Taylor was introduced to the band Arrows by Bill Wyman, and Bill produced at least three tracks recorded by the band with Terry. Arrows producer Mickie Most was furious, and as the previous poster said, it was an excuse to kill off the band, which was done very effectively. By 1978 Arrows had disbanded.

Mickey wanted another guitar for some unknown reason, originally Al, Paul and Jake did fine on their own. Just knocked heads with Mickey.

Great sound, wish everyone could have heard it live.

[ladycsummers]

[HengistTheGreat]

He is around, and recording. Doh!

Nikki Sudden wrote about the Arrows show in his song "Green Shield Stamps"

[TR5T]

Terry was only added by Mickey as a political move. He (rest in peace) was a power freak but could he pick em. He never gave the Arrows the production they needed in the beginning.

They were fab to know and work with. Alan still performs poor Pauly faded away, Jake is out there but in that time RAK rocks Britain days they were unbeatable......as Alan says.......what could have been........yes....
