The Fleshtones: Fleshdance At Le Gibus
Lindsay Hutton, Sounds, 1985
THE PLAYBOYS warmed up the crowd just right despite the fact that I felt their set was a touch too long. That's not to say that they weren't hot, but what can you do when you are champing at the bit for the main attraction. You'll be hearing more about Francois, Franck, Fred, Fifi and Michel, but not just yet.
