The /almost collected thoughts of Dr. Feelgood
Jonh Ingham, Sounds, 18 October 1975
DR FEELGOOD: Wilko Johnson – guitar; Lee Brilleaux – vocals; John B Sparks – bass; The Figure – drums. They grew up on Canvey Island in fairly close association, checking each other's bands out. In 1968 Wilko abandoned music for a university education and a degree in English. Lee Brilleaux became a solicitor's assistant, an expert on the island's divorce habits.
