Blockbuster - The Sweet; The Patrol covered this 1973 glam rock classic for their final song at South Trafford College (the band's final gig). On this song, Ian took over on vocals for the first time, with Pete Garner deputizing on the bass Ian had thrown down. After this concert, Ian sold his bass guitar for £100, bought a 1966 Lambretta J125 scooter from Braithwaite's, Stockport and joined a North Manchester scooter club.
