A real shame. The first album is a punk classic.

Disc 4: Live at the Hope and Anchor Front Row Festival (26/11/77) makes a fine tribute.

RIP CHRIS BAILEY

A large part of my late teens and beyond, I can’t count the number of times your albums have been played by me (& mates when we were younger) & how many times we went to see you play. And I still have all my original records of yours - both The Saints & solo.

And it needs to be remembered that whilst early Saints were ‘punk’ future Saints records were melodic.

Man, you could pen a tune, with such powerful vocals & a captivating frontman. Such a talent. You’ll be missed, but your strong memories will continue.

Eternally
