The Angry Young Them

 

Them were a band from Belfast, Ireland, best known for launching Van Morrison's career among those who still remember the band.  Never was much of a fan of Van's although I like a few of his songs, but the music he made with Them was the cat's meow. 

'The Angry Young Them' is their first album, released in 1965.

The full album can be found here or here.
