Arturo Bassick ‘Fat Bloke Thin Book’

Arturo Bassick

I’ve started reading Arturo Bassick’s book. Arturo was a founder member of The Lurkers and is still a member as well as bass player of 999.

Punk collectors will know Pinpoint who did the excellent and highly collectable  Richmond 7″ and the dreadful and deservedly uncollectable Third State album.

The book is a very entertaining read, following Arthur’s unusual but interesting career path in the music industry as well as his politics and views on life and society.

So in stead of packing the latest blockbuster when you go on holiday take this book, you’ll enjoy it far more.

    Have to disagree, John. Richmond was a fine single but Third State was a fine album. Maybe not what the people who bought Richmond expected but still good enough for me. I saw them supporting 999 at Middlesbrough Rock Garden in 1979/80 twice and thought they were a fab band at the time. Perhaps Overground should do a Pinpoint CD and add on all those highly collectable singles that Pinpoiny issued.

    Arturo also played with the Lucky Saddles who issued a single on Albion entitled ‘Both Be Here Today’, a classic piece of new wave pop.
