Format: Vinyl, LP, Album



Shanghai was a band of UK guitar hero Mick Green, but the slide parts were played by Brian Alterman. The band had an almost complete change of personnel between LP no1 and no2, the first being a smooth 'n funky soul rock affair with singer to suit (Chuck Bedford) and the second, 'Fallen Heroes', being a harder-rocking set with the fantastic pipes of Cliff Bennett (Toe Fat etc) which is far more hard rock-friendly. This is a nice affordable album for those that like a bit of hard boogie blues, and Cliff is on fine form. My pick is 'Let's Get The Hell Off This Highway' which really does the business with the powerful vocals and wall of guitars!
