The B-sides from the two singles were part of the album. So, you actually did hear 40 percent of the long player. Frankly, the album should have been released in America too. The Bureau opened for Pretenders over here for a long spell in '81. If anyone at the shows liked them and went to their local shop the next day looking for it they were out of luck. <br /><br />There is an interesting story about that tour and how the Bureau ran out of money (and management). It was the end of the road, really. They had to raid the main act's dressing room while they were on stage just to find food. One night when they came out of the Pretenders' room the other supporting act, Stray Cats, were waiting out in the hall and chastised them for their behavior. Archie and the lads wanted to fight but Brian Setzer's boys backed down. Hunger and poverty will do that to you.<br /><br />George, I was unaware of Archie Brown and The Young Bucks. I found a few clips. One was of them performing the second song I have posted but under a different title sometime around 1990. Thanks for the heads up. Has always growled like he has rocks in his throat, but a great performer nonetheless.<br /><br />Echorich, I'm with you, buddy. What a rhythm section!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-88572193819648339802016-05-05T07:01:31.190-04:002016-05-05T07:01:31.190-04:00I've just down a lazy bit of research and it i...I've just down a lazy bit of research and it is indeed Archie Brown of Archie Brown and The Young Bucks.

I've no idea if it's the same Archie Brown.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140350486850944468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-27537463694436388812016-05-04T23:42:35.221-04:002016-05-04T23:42:35.221-04:0036 years have gone by and The Bureau still sound e...36 years have gone by and The Bureau still sound exciting.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-51741214734271690532016-05-04T15:57:05.103-04:002016-05-04T15:57:05.103-04:00I bought the two Bureau singles at the time, but r...I bought the two Bureau singles at the time, but remained unaware of the existence of the album for many years, indeed I've still never heard it.
