    Just discovered this blog while googling Jeff Morritt to see if his name ended with one 't' or two, so as long as I'm here I think I'll mention some sad news - Dave Lightfoot, bass player of the Regulators and several other London bands, passed away a few weeks ago. I believe it was a heart attack. That's him on the cover with the checked shirt. Also, I feel it's also worth mentioning that there were actually a proportinally large number of punk bands in London Ontario considering the size of the city, which was only about a quarter of a million people back then. In the early years/ Thinking of 77-80 there were the Demics, Regulators, Sinners, NFG, VD Teens, Stoves, Heaven 17, Crash 80's, Zellots, Generics, Enemas, Infidels, Deletes, Terminals, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
