English BCR-clones Taxi on the back-page poster of Bravo of 1 September 1977. The band — Paul DeBiase, Ross Burgess, Phil Polcaro, Joe DeBiase and Pasquale Polcaro — were heavily marketed to German audiences, with their debut LP selling at a heavily discounted price, basically the price of a single. That way they sold several ten thousands records.They released four albums before they were parked in a garage, never trio be seen again.

The readers’ charts in Bravo of 1 September 1977. Almost all of the English hits were favourites of mine; of the German hits I liked only two, the #2 (a German version of The Bellamy Brothers’ Crossfire) and Michael Holm’s Desperado (not the Eagles song).
Four of them featured on A Life In Vinyl 1977
