The Bronx - Streetfighters/Radar Love

The Bronx
Streetfighters/Radar Love
(45" Single)
(Released 1981)
Released by The Bronx
Produced by Alan Judd

- Rob Smith (Vocals, Guitars)
- Ian Jefferies (Vocals, Guitars)
- Chris Paraha (Drums)
- Jon Bell (Bass)

1. Streetfighters (Ian Jefferies, Rob Smith)
2. Radar Love (George Kooymans, Barry Hay)

"Radar Love" is a cover of the Golden Earring classic, which has made this single rather collectable amongst the Golden Earring collecting fraternity.

Jon Bell (along with Rob's replacement in The Bronx - Rick Bernard) went on to form Knightshade (a successful band in the 80's rock era in New Zealand).
