RENEGADE - Lovin' And Forgiving / Never Let Me Go



















RENEGADE - Lovin' And Forgiving / Never Let Me Go (Parlophone 1973)
After a short-lived career in Italy with the Sorrows and after releasing the beautiful "You're Still Mine" with Eggy, Pip Witcher and Roger Lomas formed Renegade. They cut this weird, amazing two-sider, following it up one year later with the glam-punker "My Revolution". Portuguese issue, produced by Lomas/Ludvigsen.

YELLOW CAT - Sissy



















YELLOW CAT - Little Woman / Sissy (Lark 1974)
A bubbleglam stomper b side from the obscure Yellow Cat, which betrays an Equals influence.
Sound and vocals are strikingly similar to another Dutch nederglam piece called "Do It" by Black Fire. In fact, Van Olm is behind both singles as writer and producer. Probably both bands were his studio creations. Dutch Issue.
