Delta 5: Delta Force
Fred Mills, Harp, March 2006
WHILE three-gal/two-guy outfit Delta 5 didn't exactly fly under the radar, its relatively brief tenure (1979-'81) meant the Leeds, England, band never got its proper due – a trio of classic 45s for Rough Trade and a slightly flawed full-length for Charisma Records' subsidiary Pre and Delta 5 was outta there.
