6-10) and the final session 6/16/79. The first session was also the debut for bass player

Diminished Responsibility
Recorded 1981
Charlie Harper - Vocals
Nicky Garratt - Guitar
Alvin Gibbs - Bass
Steve Roberts - Drums
The story of the recording of "Diminished Responsibility" starts with Mike
Leander's production of the single "Party In Paris" Mike Leander produced
(and played most of the instruments) on all the Gary Glitter hits. With the Subs he seemed
mostly interested in having another Gary Glitter type hit and was not very interested in
the album. The production was very poor. Nicky Garratt stepped in to re-mix, but much of
the damage was done at the recording stage. The songs however showed more ambition. |

The last single for GEM was their all out attempt to get a top ten single. This included
slick production and bribing the band to ware new romantic clothes. It did chart and the
Subs played their last Top Of The Pops. They rushed out a limited version with two extra
tracks to try and puss the single higher into the charts, but instead it fell. GEM tried
to re negotiate the contract but could not make an agreement and the Subs moved on to NEMS
records. |
