"I wanted to write a “generation” song, y’know “My Generation” for what people like me were feeling. Although, I knew it was unlikely that a lot of people were going to rally around the concept of… being nothing. But I did have this feeling I might… make a few friends?" - Richard Hell

Early morning hours of November 18, 1983. You're a Liverpool musician by the name of Tom Evans. A songwriter, vocalist, bass player for the band #Badfinger You're upset, very depressed & looking back on your life. You ask yourself "How did it come to this ?” #Remembering #TomEvans

The song "Problem Child" was released on 30 September 1977 by Stiff Records as a preview of Music for Pleasure. The single again failed to chart in the official UK Top 75, though it did reach No. 27 on the NME chart, which used a different sample of record shops. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRKO...

A landmark album buzzed with crisp, relevant social commentary when it was released 46 years ago. The album found the band with its collective fingers placed firmly on the pulse of current culture. Spot on Barbara Maliniak who's feet appear in red stilettos on the cover of #TheKinks Low Budget!
