Tea In China Tea In China
Original 1980 indie single release recorded at Guardian Studios, Pity Me, Co Durham.
Carl Green & The Scene were one of Teesside's biggest bands in the post punk pop era of late 70s & early 80s. though eventually recording for major label RCA the band's real forte was live performance with the enigmatic and electrifying Green an unmissable front man. Their 2003 reunion show at old residency The Yorkshire Dragoon was a total sell out and a memorable night of quirky power pop.
Band/artist history
During 1979 through to 1982 the band released several records on own "Benton Fun" and "Ginnisbukka Records" and eventually RCA label. "All The Tea In China" still holds the record as the only single with two sides on two different labels! The band split in 1982 and reformed in 2003 for a one off concert that featured three new songs. The new "Anthology" album is now available featuring remastered original recordings, three brand new songs from the Green/Sawdon partnership and some rare radio sessions and live bootlegs as extras.
