The Beckies

Good to Know: The Beckies Story

£29.99

Released: 28th February 2025. 'The Beckies' was released in 1976, what should have been a beginning quickly became the end of the band's story. With little to no promotion from Sire Records, the album sank under a wave of changing fashion and sounds. Now, nearly 40 years after its original release, the original album (and more!) returns on 'Good to Know: The Beckies Story'. The original eleven-track album appears on the first disc, while the second contains 13 previously unissued songs from those original demo sessions - displaying the band's dynamics in a way the way their eventual album sometimes hinted at.
