City Boy City Boy/Dinner At The Ritz: Expanded Edition CD

UK two CD set containing digitally remastered editions of a pair of albums by the cult British rockers (plus bonus tracks): City Boy and Dinner At The Ritz, both originally released in 1976. Bonus material includes BBC live tracks. City Boy were characterized by complex vocal arrangements and heavy guitars. In the early 1970s, Lol Mason, Steve Broughton, Max Thomas and Chris Dunn were playing original acoustic music in the Birmingham area. They toured the clubs of the Midlands and turned professional towards the end of 1975. They were offered a recording contract by Phonogram Records on the condition that they change their name from "Back In the Band" and add drums and electric guitar. This prompted them to recruit drummer Roger Kent and guitarist Mike Slamer.
