Chris Farlowe: Farlowe's Back In Time
Mick Brown, Sounds, 16 August 1975
IT WAS, says Chris Farlowe, bloody fantastic. The Marquee Club packed to the limit; sweat staining the walls. A barrage of vintage blues-shouting from Farlowe himself. An amplifier blow-out a third of the way through the set, and a punch-up on the floor half an hour later.
