Gerry Rafferty: Can I Have My Money Back?
Harold Bronson, Rolling Stone, 22 November 1973
Gerry Rafferty paid his dues playing bass in countless rock bands before joining up with fellow Scot Billy Connolly in a mildly successful affair called the Humblebums. When the duo parted, Rafferty recorded his solo LP, Can I Have My Money Back? (This was well over a year ago, before he and Joe Egan formed Stealer's Wheel.)
