Crazy Cavan 'n' The Rhythm Rockers are the ultimate Teddy Boy band. This was Crazy Cavan's first LP from 1975. It must be one of the biggest selling rockin' albums of all time, and was originally issued by Rockhouse Records of Holland. I was the DJ at Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers' first London gig (Fishmongers Arms) and also at their Lyceum debut. They were an absolute sensation. On the day that I got this album I was DJ-ing at a pub called 'The Jack The Ripper' (really!) in London's East End. I think I played every track on it at least twice that night. The girls went crazy for 'Sadie'. Happy days..... Roy Williams

Crazy Cavan 'n' The Rhythm Rockers - original sleeve notes
"Cavan's sound was first heard of as far back as 1964, when Cavan Grogan, Lyndon Needs and Terry Walley decided to form a group which at first was called 'Count Dracula and the Vampires' and later for a short time was known as 'The Sundogs'. When in 1970 this band was joined by Don Kinsella and Mike Coffey it was the start of 'Crazy Cavan 'n' The Rhythm Rockers'. For four years they build up fame as a semi-professional unit, playing their own music, which, influenced by rockabilly, rock'n'roll and country music, became known as 'crazy rhythm'. By the end of 1973 they had acquired a large following and there was increasing demand for a record by the group. It all resulted in the release of a single and an EP on their own label 'Crazy Rhythm'. The demand far exceeded the supply, however, and very soon these records became collector's items. Even though they did not perform in many countries, fans from everywhere responded to their music. To reach more people, the band decided to become fully professional and soon bookings flowed in thick and fast. March 1975 stands as a landmark in their development, for then they were top of the bill at the famous 'Lyceum' in London, England. Fans from all over often travelled hundreds of miles to this concert, which turned out to be an enormous success. Crazy Cavan 'n' The Rhythm Rockers feel that their success could not have been achieved without the support of the hardcore and the growing legion of British rock'n'roll fans, and it is to them, the Teddy Boys, that they dedicate this, their first album."
