Streak –Bang Bang Bullet/ Black Jack Man - Deram 84.133 9 (French issue 1973)
Featuring future Arrows members Jake Hooker and Paul Varley (ex Little Free Rock), Bang Bang Bullet is full on New York Dolls through and through. The attitude, groove and lyrics are all there, but with less make up... It rocks, it bites and hooks you immediately. The B side Black Jack Man is also good, but it plods a bit and doesn’t quite have the spark that lights up the obvious choice for the A side.

I did run across a U.S. promo copy of this just last week. It's quite good, certainly a punk vibe, despite the horns that creep in near the end.
I've got a copy of the STREAK French issue on buy it now this week on EBAY.
Who are the writers and publishers of Bang Bang Bullet?
Hi Robin,
I actually, belive or not, roadied for this band!
Last night I was vidding a Max's Kansas City reunion and The Brats covered the song. I went into setrious deja-vu!
Damn...I was in NYC a week ago, do you mean I missed a Brats reunion?
hey Joly -
I was also there Fri night. I played with Mark Polott whop was manning the bass for the Brats that night. He and Mark Mayo wrote some tunes for the Brats as well and actually perform on some of the independent sings the Brats produced back in the day. Great music that night!
