The Crabs were a great and early UK punk band from GreatYarmouth formed back in 1974. The band supported the likes of X-RaySpex,The Lurkers, Sham 69, The Jam & Siouxsie & TheBanshees and many others and regularly played famous punk venuesvenues like The Roxy & Vortex. The build up an excellentreputation as a live band especially with the shows at Marquee onNovember 1977 and February 1978. After the second show the band areoffered a record deal with Lightning Records and the contract isfor an album and two singles. Then things moves quickly and theband are rushed into the studios and the record atleast four tracksLullabies Lie, Victim, Save My Skin and Blue Unction. The trackLullabies Lie ends up on a compilation album called Farewell To TheRoxy while the other three tracks are supposed to be the bandsfirst vinyl single and an advertisement in NME are shown in theMarch issue of 1978. However the single were never released, somesources claims the single was pressed but no proof of a physicalcopy has shown up. Lightning Records now shows little interested intheir signing but the band are still stuck with their contract justwaiting for something to happen. When all are put on hold the bandsmanager Mike Berry (of Wombles) turns to the Fulham Football Clubwhere he has connections. The football club offers them financialsupport to release a single but the band cant use their name Crabsdue to legal reason with Lightning Records. So they change name toFulham Furies (back then not many knew who this band were and therewere wrong rumours that it was Cocksparrer or even TheLurkers). The single was never released with any sleeve artwork tosurround it with even more mystery. The A-side is a phlegmy andenergetic version of the Lee Hazelwood tune, These Boots Were MadeFor Walking while the B-side features an original called UnderPressure. So sad that this band really were doomed when they signedtheir record contract and never really got their chance and its abit ironically that the only real vinyl and legacy that excist nowis a single dedicated to Fulham FC.
