VICE SQUAD - DISCOGS

Just a few grotty shots of this charming pair that I grabbed while interviewing them for Zigzag about the “Stand Strong Stand Proud” album during the weird link up with EMI. A classy album, which obviously including the mighty ‘Out Of Reach’ (1981) single. A typically busy year for them with the ‘Stand Strong’ and ‘State Of The Nation’ EPs also released.
