THE STEAMPACKET - 1965/66

Steampacket

"The Steampacket was like a white soul revue. Like a white Ike and Tina Turner but nowhere as good. We never made any records because we were all on different labels".

"Shotgun Express was like a very poor Steampacket. It was too soon after Steampacket and it was just a poor imitation. I was still getting this terrible feeling of doing other people's music. I think you can only start finding yourself when you write your own material".
