Supercharge -

Supercharge were an English R&B/big band from Liverpool that debuted with an album on Stag Music in 1974, followed by five albums on Virgin between 1976 and 1979. After an album apiece on Criminal Records and Intercord during the 1980–82 period, the band released two live discs and a comeback studio album on Memo Music between 1984 and 1988.

Supercharge was led by saxophonist Albie Donnelly. During the late 1970s, he made appearances on albums by City Boy, Graham Parker, The Boomtown Rats, and The Members. Original drummer Dave Irving departed after four albums to join Sad Café.
