Barry Blood –Poor Annie
Barry Blood –Poor Annie/ On The Run –Alaska ALA 24 (1975 UK)
Supposedly a descendant of Captain Blood... Poor Annie is closer to middle of the range Pub Rock than all out buccaneering Glam. The guitar sound is relatively crunchy and the track comes across like Ducks Deluxe (playing the 100 club in October!) track with a few more chords thrown in. The B side is interestingly sparse. It was probably a live in the studio demo with just electric guitar, slightly off mic vocals and drums. Not quite Doctor Ross or John Lee Hooker, but pretty cool all the same. Barry later recorded an Eastenders off shoot song: Killing Time (Angie’s song) and She’s The Queen Of My Rock ‘N’ Roll in ‘82 .

This track stands up well after all this time.
I played on both these tunes, how can I get a copy.
Thanks ,Gary.
Hi Gary
Send me an email purepop1uk@yahoo.co.uk and I'll send you an MP3. The single is impossible to find and goes for a lot if it does ahow. Poor Annie has been comped on the Glitter From The Litter Bin CD, which is still findable...
All the best
Robin

Hi
I think Killing Time shows up on ebay or on sites like Gemm.com or Musistack.com
I don't have it myself...
Just came across this old post ... so maybe this reply won't be read ... but Barry Blood was my dad. I've got Killing time on 7", assorted posters and who knows what else email: stevenblood@gmail.com
I'm Barry's other son, Andy. I know Gary Mitchell (drummer)too.
I think the track really stands up, funny to find it on the web, and other songs too. Must bring them together. I have tapes of German US Army base shows, Jimmy Hendrix covers, etc, they're brilliant.
Robin,thankyou.
Cheers!
