Welcome to episode 4 of the LTA: Compilation Series podcasts
hosted by Eric Reanimator. This episode is called Happy Pub.

This time around Eric is discussing a couple of albums
focussing on British pub rock. First of all he talks about Elizabeth McQueen
and the Firebrands with their tribute album to pub rock from 2005 called “Happy
Doing What We’re Doing”. Then he goes right to the source with the compilation
“Pub Rock: Paving The Way For Punk” featuring artists like Ian Dury, Brinsley
Schwartz and the 101’ers (with a pre-Clash Joe Strummer)

As always, Eric delivers a truly fascinating show. He
contextualises the music describing the circumstances that led to pub rock in
England. When young artists wanted to bring back pure raw energy to make
exciting music (in much the same way rock and rollers from the 50s did), as an
alternative to the musicians who were showing their chops through Progressive
Rock, Pub Rock was created. As a side note, the pub has long been the breeding
ground for most great Australian rock. I hope to discuss this with Eric on a
future show.

I urge you to give Eric your time. His shows are not just
podcasts, but audio documentaries. They are well thought out and you come away
knowing something new.
