Joe Cocker - Vance Arnold and the Avengers

"What a fantastic product! It has everything for the Joe Cocker fans. Original music release, background, history and interesting facts and memorabilia. I understand a further update is likely later this year as 'Sounds of the Sixties.' This is another must. Every Cocker fan should have a copy of 'Joe Cocker - Vance Arnold and the Avengers,' it's a great collectors item. Joe must be so proud of this copy and his early days in Sheffield, England, where he is still the local hero."

The Early Days of Joe Cocker

"This classic album - and early biography - is a genuine tribute to a remarkable performer. Not only does it contain seven superb songs (recorded live on stage) from the days when he was first known as 'Vance Arnold and the Avengers;' but it also confirms a fascinating account of his early life, playing the clubs and pubs of Sheffield, England, whilst struggling to establish a reputation as a 'new wave' rock and roll singer. The nostalgic album helps re-create part of the atmosphere from that unique period in the mid sixties and provides clear evidence of Joe's raw potential as one of the top talents for the future."
