The Colin Anthony and His Beat Combo - Colin Is Fab! 1966


The Colin Anthony Combo, who first formed in 1959 and turned professional in 1963 after appearing as a support group to The Beatles at the Bath Pavilion, are getting together for one night tomorrow to perform in Randalls Bar at Bath City Football Club.
Colin Anthony was yet another of the countless young Brit-beaters to invade Germany in the early 60´s, but unlike most of his colleagues he didn´t stay long and left only a few traces on the club scene. Which is a pity, cause his ´64 Fontana LP "Colin Is Fab" is an unknown Merseysound gem. "Yield Not To Temptation" was a hit for Bobby Bland, and Anthony and his band do a great job here with their uptempo gospelbeat-arrangement. When the equally fine single "Crazy Beatle Boots" flopped, Colin dived down into oblivion or, more likely, went home and changed his stage name.
