Collins, Paul / Who, Dear?

Big Legal Mess

Rock icon and cult favorite PAUL COLLINS got his start with Peter Case and Jack Lee in 1974. Their band THE NERVES toured with The Ramones and recorded a song called “Hanging On The Telephone.” The song would later become a hit when covered by Deborah Harry and Blondie on the Parallel Lines album. Paul Collins formed THE BEAT in 1977, recruiting members of various rock bands including Steven Huff, Larry Whitman, Dennis Conway and Michael Ruiz. The result was The Beat, a high energy rock group in the style of The Ramones, Blondie and The Dictators. A new version of the band PAUL COLLINS’ BEAT surfaced more recently and resulted in an album of new material entitled Flying High and this 7-inch, available on Big Legal Mess Records.
