Streetwalkers: Red Card (Vertigo) *****
Mick Brown, Sounds, 29 May 1976
RED CARD is the album I thought Streetwalkers last promenade, Downtown Flyers would be. I had mixed feelings about that one. Good to see Roger Chapman and Charlie Whitney falling on their feet after Family and the initial loose Streetwalkers prototype with a permanent combo so obviously suited to their musical and personal sensibilities.
