Brian Twan wrote in Approved history of HW booklet :

"In 1964 Brock and Luke Francis began playing as a duo, later to be joined
by Mike King and, in time, to be know as DBB. They played gigs and recorded
some songs, two of which were used on blues compilations during that period
and have also been isssued on blues compilations during the eighties.These
songs were Roll Em Pete and the better know Dealing With The Devil."


and also consider The Famous Cure:

"Famous Cure second line-up (Brock & Mick Slattery) recorded a single called
Sweet Mary which reached number five in the Dutch charts. The band also
recorded a couple of "live" tracks, Dust My Shoes and one other, the title
of which is long forgotten, and the two were released on an album called
Harlem Blues Festival. It also seems highly likely that other Dutch Blues
albums have Famous Cure material thereon."

So now we have couple new items to get!
