(THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY POPULAR SO I'M GIVING IT A BOUNCE TO THE TOP) Before The Godfathers (of 'Birth School Work Death' fame) there was The Sid Presley Experience. In addition to the two eps listed above, they did several radio sessions. I've attempted to collect all known recordings by the SPE and compile them into one anthology. In an era of new wave and synths, the SPE pounded out some quality rock and roll that went against fads of the time. If there was any rock and roll justice The Godfathers would have been huge.
The Unholy Trinity were formed when the SPE disbanded and the Coyne brothers went on to form The Godfathers.
The Godfathers AMG bio:
The Godfathers were founded by brothers Peter and Chris Coyne in London in 1985. Vocalist Peter and bassist Chris were joined by guitarists Kris Dollimore and Mike Gibson and drummer George Mazur. Coming ten years after Britain's punk explosion, they nevertheless built on that music's rage and force. Their debut album, Hit by Hit, was released in the U.S. on the indie label Link in 1986 and followed by Birth, School, Work, Death on Epic in 1988, which made the Top 100 bestsellers as the title song was played on album rock radio. Their third album, More Songs About Love & Hate (1989), featured the popular college radio track "She Gives Me Love," but was less commercially successful. They released a fourth album, Unreal World, on Epic in 1991. (this bio is incomplete. The Godfathers released three more albums with varying lineup changes - Dope, Rock 'N' Roll & Fucking In The Streets (1992 Corporate Image Records) - The Godfathers aka Orange (1993 Intercord Record Service) - Afterlife (1995 Intercord Record Service).

Don't know how you have achieved to get all the SPE/UT stuff, and thank you so much for sharing it. A real treat.
good post :)
We are sell wow gold and wow power leveling wow gold
Er Hem, actually that picture at the top of the Blogspot is practically blashemy - refering to the Sid Presley Experience as "The Godfathers". These are guys I knew well back in '85 and at the time of their split there was no love lost between them, hence the competing versions of Rock 'n'Roll Traitor done by both bands. Kev and Del definitely thought that Chris and Pete were selling out with their booted and suited new image when they formed the Godfathers. The Unholy Trinity were garage-punk to the core.
Anyway, good to see people out there still carrying the flag. Funnily enough I was just digitising my own versions of the vinyl so that I can carry on enjoying the tunes on my branded MP3 player.
Regards to You All. John Z (ex-Zombie Rockers 1983-1988)
