# 310 Lenny & the Lawbreakers ! - Me and Bobby Magee


Side a: Me and Bobby Magee
Side b: Suzy D
IRL 1979
A good remake of a Kris Kristofferson hit-tune on the a side and a cool self-penned powerpop number on the b side! The band was from the Nothern Irland area and this was their lone release on the famous irish label "Rip Off Records".

The good people of "Sing Sing Records" in New York will release a compilation of "Rip Off Records" in November with all the hits and unreleased stuff. So watch out for this !
