Tarney Spencer Band (1979) Don't

 From the British Pop Rock duo who had a couple hits in the very tail end of the 70s with a slight New Wave vibe. From their third and most successful album full of the soaring and bright pop guitar work and explosive drumming they were known for plus a nice upbeat melody accompanied by shouts of 'Don't' represents the band's catalogue pretty well. Interesting that this band actually broke up as their singles charted in 1979 just as success was seemingly dawning for them. They have elements of the same driving keyboard based soft rock of Sanford Townshend band and England Dan and John Ford Colley; Hmm some kind of trend that they all used the 'two person name' duo format as well.
Also the cheap paperback novel drawings of the album cover are inspired though if totally unconnected to the music inside.
