Back Street Crawler were formed in 1975 with ex-Beckett member Terry Slesser and former Free guitarist Paul Kossoff with Mike Montgomery, Terry Wilson, and Tony Braunagel. The first album the band plays on was a critical success, but "Koss" was taken ill in 1975, which halted the band in its tracks. He recovered in time to play some live dates and begin recording the second album.  By now, Koss's former Free bandmate, John "Rabbit" Bundrick had joined on keyboards. The album "Second Street" was recorded, however, shortly after the album was finished, Koss passed away and the album was released posthumously. The band would go on to shorten their name to Crawler, with the addition of guitarist Geoff Whitehorn.

Here, Terry Slesser takes us through the history of Backstreet Crawler, and the contents of the new boxset "Backstreet Crawler: The Atlantic Years 1975-1976".
