1976

I SAY SUPER-JAWS * OWEN GREY * HORSE 122 * UK

The cue for this song was the 1975 'horror' film Jaws, where a police chief, a scientist, and a grizzled sailor set out to kill a shark that is menacing a seaside community (Amity Island). The record is a favorite of mine, partly because of the astonishing level of gravity Owen Grey treats the subject of the song, a super shark. He, at times, can be heard, singing, with intense emotional expression, or pleading to the listener to take care least Super-Jaws 'gets' them too. Great stuff.
