(c’82-’84) Ian Steward (bassist), Dave Raphael (?) and ?.

Both Steward and Raphael had recently left Panther when they got together with others to form Precious Few. We know the band played regularly at The Cricketers, Westfield in ’82 – they were certainly there on 1 October ’82 with XLR8 in support.

Steward left under amicable conditions in Sept ’84, having slipped a disc, but left the band seeking a bassist with a record deal in the works and a possible compilation slot. By ’85 Raphael was playing in China Heart.
