1007.0. "Does anyone remember who played these?" by STKAI1::SWE098::MSTROM () Mon Apr 11 1994 05:44

Hi!

In the early 70'ies there were a couple of (pre-metal) hard rock
songs called

  Rubber Bullets
 and 
  Ballroom Blitz

I think they were performed by the same group. At least both of them
got high placements on the charts, at least here in Europe. As far as 
I remember the song "Rubber Bullets" was 'hot' during the summer of 
1973 and that it was a sequel to "Ballroom Blitz".

I also have a very weak hunch that the group might have been one 
called "10cc" (ten see-see). I have been searching for the score for
these songs for quite some time now without any success.

Does anyone know what group or groups that performed these songs and
if they are available as musical score or MIDI files anywhere on this
planet?

Thank's in advance
Magnus

	Well, "Ballroom Blitz" is by Sweet, from the album "Level Headed" [or it could be "Desolation Boulevard" ... I have both and forget which it came off of]. GTI

	Thank's! Talk about quick response. I have found out from other sources that "Rubber Bullets" was performed by the group 10cc. Magnus
