Скачать или смотреть Merton Parkas - Put Me In The Picture

Put Me In The Picture released on the 3rd July 1980 was the fourth and in my opinion best single by the Merton Parkas.

The Merton Parkas were formed in the Merton area of South London in the late1970s, by Danny Talbot (vocals and guitar), his brother, Mick Talbot (keyboards), Neil Hurrell (bass) and Simon Smith (drums). They originally called themselves "The Sneekers"

The group was discovered playing in a pub in Clapham, South London, by Alan Anger, a punk journalist, and signed with the independent record label, Beggars Banquet. The Merton Parkas also appeared at the Bridge House, Canning Town, but due to contractual disputes between record labels, did not feature on the 1979 album Mods Mayday. However the un-released recording of their set at the Bridge House can be found on YouTube. The Merton Parkas released a few moderately successful singles, such as: "You Need Wheels", "Plastic Smile", "Give it to Me Now" and "Put Me in the Picture". The band's most notable track was "You Need Wheels", which reached #40 in the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1979. They also released one album, Face in the Crowd. Rick Buckler of The Jam played with the band at Ronnie Scotts, and Mick Talbot played on "Heatwave", a track on The Jam's 1979 album Setting Sons.

After The Merton Parkas disbanded in 1980, Mick Talbot went on to play with Dexys Midnight Runners, The Bureau, and The Style Council. Simon Smith joined the psychedelic band, Mood Six.
