Steel
Leg Discography
EP featuring Jah Wobble and Keith Levene (as "Stratetime Keith"), along with Don Letts and Wobble’s mate Vince Bracken. One of the first PiL "umbrella" releases. Basically seen as a cash in at the time, but not without its merit in places; especially 'Haile Unlikely' with Don Letts on vocals.
It may seem an obvious thing to say, but this really is the missing link between 'First Issue' & 'Metal Box'. From the more "rocky" 'Steel Leg' through to the spacey dub of 'Haile Unlikely' & 'Unlikely Pub'. Essential listening for PiL fans…
John Lydon has NO involvement with this project...
All instruments played by Levene
and Jah Wobble.
Vocals on 1: Vince Bracken and Jah Wobble. Vocals on 3: Don Letts.
The EP was released on both 7" & 12" at the time but has since largely disappeared, it has never received a full CD release.
