Product Description
CD Description
Ducks Deluxe was one of the better ‘pub rock’ bands to emerge during the seventies. The group included Martin Belmont, Sean Tyla and Andy McMaster, all of whom found even greater success in subsequent years. (Belmont with Graham Parker’s Rumour, Tyla as a solo artist, and McMaster with The Motors who had the big hit ‘Airport’). ‘Taxi To The Terminal’ was produced by Dave Edmunds at the famous Rockfield Studios in Monmouth. Previously reissued on the Mau Mau label with tracks missing, BGO have restored it to its former glory with all tracks present. Sleeve notes from the lead guitarist of Ducks Deluxe, Martin Belmont.

Young people won't remember when the only bands you could see played in concert halls or vast audatoria; it was no fun. Ducks Deluxe were one of the pub rock bands of the early mid seventies that laid the foundations of punk. Oooh, and what solid rockin' foundations they are! They were the first band I ever saw in a pub, and I still thrill at the memory - dirty, lowdown, and just the kind of thing your mum wouldn't approve of. Thats the first album. The second album is a doozy too, but poppier; two of the members went on to found The Motors. And the guitarist joined Graham Parker and the Rumour. This stuff still stands up, and deserves recognition. These guys kept us seventies types sane, while we waited for The Clash to come along!

I first heard Ducks deluxe back in 1973 listening to Radio Luxenburg. The sound was hazy and distorted but I managed to hear "Coast to Coast" one night. From then on i tuned in at some godawful late hour hoping to hear it again. It sounded like it was coming from inside a hurricane and with the Luxenburg transmitter that could well have been the case. I ordered the single and waited an eternity for it to arrive at my local record shop. I presumed it wouldn't be as good hearing it without added Hurricane sound effects. I was right. It sounded about 578 times better! "Coast to Coast" remains one of the greatest records ever made. Do yourself a favour and buy this record to find out why.

Like other contributors I first heard the magnificent Coast to Coast on a tinny transistor radio (and at half time at York City FC) in the early/mid 70s. The BBC banned the single before it could become a certain top 10 hit - this added to the allure and I had to have the record.
35 years on Ducks sound as fresh as ever - so many musical styles - THE most under rated and under exposed exponents of 70s rock/pop. Buy these two albums - I promise you will not be disappointed!

Deluxe energy
Labelled 'pub rock', a useless term, Ducks Deluxe's music consists mainly of rhythm and blues, best served at high energy, plus the occasional digression. Read more
