LEGENDMICKEY JUPP, MO WITHAM, BOB CLOUTER, JOHN BOBIN
Formed in Southend by Mickey Jupp, Legend are often regarded as the originators of the 'pub rock' sound.
They were also the first English group to feature on the Bell label.
Indeed, Cheque Book from their second album was later covered by premier 'pub rock' proponents Dr. Feelgood.
Bill Fifield departed to T Rex prior to the Moonshine album.
All three albums are now rare and quite sought-after

RECORD NEAR MINT
SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
Released in 1972, Legend's third album, Moonshine, features the "Mark III" lineup comprising
John Bobin, Mo Witham, Bob Clouter and the legendary Mickey Jupp.
The sound is fairly raw throughout, with the kind of loose, relaxed musicianship that comes
from pro cats getting down and having fun. Rock, blues, country and a touch of traditional balladeering
inform each of the disc's selections and find the group right at home with those stylistic touchstones.
Whether they're stripped-down and rockin' (as on the rousing "Moonshine" and "Captain Cool")
or dramatic and string-filled (the plaintive "Another Guy" and "The Writer of Songs")
there's an element of toughness that keeps the band from ever sounding stuffy,
and it's that same barroom machismo that makes this record stand out as a near-classic example of down-home,
'70s British rock done correctly -- with fun and chutzpah in equal amounts...(AllMusic)
