Single of the month, sort of, in Cream (UK), August 1971, for the 2nd Third World War 45. James Hamilton wrote:
Terry is the mouthpiece of an aggressively working class group called Third World War, who in a so far rather small way have become notorious for their somewhat simplistic sloganeering. They are recognised less for the music they make , which is noisy yet very original, and has a definite ‘sound’ of its own. Their latest single is great fun, not at all controversial, and, as they realised in retrospect , a sly dig at the blanketing anaemia of ‘Country Rock’. It is accurately titled ‘A Little Bit of Urban Rock (Fly BUG 11), it is very tough and gritty, it lasts for over four minutes, and it moves like the clappers throughout.
Fuck yeah! And with a killer live pic to boot . . .
