The band broke up and Alex found himself dogged by massive legal problems
Problems that actually prevented him from performing many of the songs upon which his reputation had been built
He made a comeback in 1979 but like so many comebacks it wasn't to be this whistle test session dates from December
1973 here's Alex Harvey as many people will fondly remember him with the Jack Brell song next
