The band’s second single, “You’re a Lady Now”, was released in July

The band’s second single, “You’re a Lady Now”, was released in July 1977, which was followed a month later by their self-titled debut album, The Angels – also produced and recorded by Vanda & Young at Albert Studios, Sydney. It included a re-recorded version of “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again”. Most of its ten tracks were co-written by Neeson and the Brewster brothers. Neeson’s work as front man allowed the band to develop an energetic and theatrical live presence; he typically appeared on stage as a wild extrovert, dressed in a dinner suit, and sometimes a bow tie, and shaking maracas . As a foil Rick remained motionless and wore sunglasses; he has stated that Beethoven convinced him not to move on stage.
