Biografia:

A biografia da banda, que segue, em tradução livre do inglês, foi extraída do site Oldies, que, por sua vez, cita, como fonte primária do texto, a Encyclopedia Of Popular Music, de Colin Larkin (sob licença da editora Muze).

Formada na Inglaterra em 1975, a Back Street Crawler tirou seu nome do disco solo homônimo de Paul Kossoff (nascido no dia 14 de setembro de 1950, em Hampstead, Londres, Inglaterra, e morto no dia 19 de março de 1976), fundador do grupo. O ex-guitarrista da Free tinha ao seu lado Terry Wilson-Slessor (vocais), Michael Montgomery (teclados), Terry Wilson (baixo) e Tony Braunagel (bateria). A banda agendou apresentações para divulgar o primeiro álbum, "The Band Plays On", de 1975, mas teve de cancelá-las devido à hospitalização de Kossoff em decorrência de uma convulsão relacionada ao consumo de drogas. Uma turnê americana trouxe novo alento ao grupo, mas o otimismo ruiu em 19 de março de 1976, quando Kossoff morreu enquanto dormia. A banda encurtou seu nome para Crawler após o lançamento de "Second Street", de 1976.

Biografia:

Do norte londrino, esse grupo inglês ganhou visibilidade pela gravação do cover "Girl", dos Beatles, que lhe rendeu um pequeno hit (embora a banda St. Louis Union tenha obtido mais sucesso com a mesma música). Na verdade, seus singles eram recheados de covers. Por exemplo: "I Go To Sleep", da Kinks, "Walk Away Renee", da Left Banke, e "Sueno", da Young Rascals, que recebeu um tratamento excessivamente britânico.

"Baby You've Got It" é uma canção energética e atípica, cantada pelo vocalista soul-roqueiro Steve Jameson, que mais tarde gravou diversos discos solos, sob o pseudônimo Nosmo King. Em 1974, ele emplacou um sucesso com a música "Goodbye Nothing To Say", bastante executada no circuito northern soul (nota minha: segundo a Wikipedia, northern soul é um movimento de música e dança surgido na  cena mod britânica, inicialmente nas regiões norte e centro da Inglaterra, na década de 1960, inspirado na música negra soul americana).

Músicas incluídas em compilações: "Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)" em "Maximum Freakbeat" (CD) e "Beat It" (3-CD); "Girl" em "Pop Inside The Sixties, Vol. 3" (CD); "Sueno" em "Rubble, Vol. 14 - The Magic Rocking Horse" (LP) e "Rubble, Vol. 8" (CD); "Jingle Jangle" em ""A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (LP); "She's A Roller" em "Doin' The Mod, Vol. 1" (CD); "Baby You've Got It" em "English Freakbeat, Vol. 5" (LP e CD) e "Freakbeat Freakout" (CD); "I Go To Sleep" e "Girl" em "Hippy Hippy Shake" (CD) (Vernon Joynson, in The Tapestry of Delights - The Comprehensive Guide to British Music of the Beat, R&B, Psychedelic and Progressive Eras 1963-1976. Telford: Borderline Productions, 2006, p. 1529; tradução livre do inglês).
