Legend has it that
The Blood
were "discovered" by
Cockney Rejects
vocalist
Jeff "Stinky Turner" Geggus
on the top deck of a bus in Charlton. What they were all doing on the South East London bus has never been fully explained! Still, it was Jeff who introduced
Coming Blood
(as they were then known) to
Sounds
journalist
Garry Bushell
and, suitably impressed, he offered them a spot on the fourth volume of the Oi! compilation series,
Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot
(1982). It wasn't just the punk scene that took to the band, the more open-minded in the metal fraternity also embraced them, making them one of the first punk-metal crossover bands, equally at home with followers of the
Anti Nowhere League
or
Motorhead
. Though the initial career of The Blood may only have been brief, the two singles, 12", and album they released have all stood the test of time, many of the songs later covered by bands not even born when they were first recorded! Includes all their singles and rare early tracks, all remastered and packed with exclusive unseen photos, with liner notes by
Business
's bass player and Captain OI! mastermind,
Mark Brennan
.
