Looking for some info here if anybody can help out, I have a 45 on a band called
The Anteeeks from 1966 Philips label (326747 1F) called “I Don’t Want You” written by Pete Dello/Brian Potter,I would love to know the history of the band,
even a photo of them, I bought the record 25 years ago for 75 pence,in The Briggait,the B Side is “Ball And Chain” written by Ed.Rabbitt/Tricia Carr.I would
be grateful if anybody with an interest in British Psychedelia let me know if The
Anteeeks had anymore singles released or an LP. Thanks Charlie

There is nothing to be found other than
Your copy appears to be a legal re issue. Pete Dello of course was with The Honeycombs and left them to write songs.
“Actually there’s a nice Pete Dello penned # called “I Don’t Want You”
recorded by The Anteeks in the U.K (on the flip of their version of The
Great Scot’s “Ball And Chain”). Released in March 1966 Good snotty farfisa punk. It’s on the
“Psychedelia Volume 3″ lp comp. Traffic Jam (pre-Status Quo) covered it on a
BBC session that was bootlegged ages ago on a seven inch e.p”

Charlie found this:
Drums: George Butler. George was part of Giant Moth with Alex Harvey, Ian Dury & The Kilburns and has drummed for The Deviants, Brian Ferry and Elvis Costello amongst many others. Check out “I Don’t Want You” the classic single by George’s first band the Anteeeks (1967). George is well known for his even temper. Guitar: Brady. Formerly lead guitarist with the legendary Hollywood Brats, the band who invented punk in 1972! A long time drinking partner and guitarist for Wreckless Eric, Brady is, at one and the same time, Irish and my hero. Bass: John Proctor. John also plays bass for Monkey Seed and The Blues Academy. He has a lovely suit and often smiles wryly during rehearsals. Vocals: Billy Oblivion. I have now been Billy Oblivion since 1976 and I intend to carry on being me for a lot longer. Oh yes!! The Legendary DNA Cowboys are well known for their anti drink & drugs stance.

What a name,it’s right up there
