One of the most influential bands of the British pub rock scene in the 1970s, Dr Feelgood played a style of rhythm and blues that encapsulates the roots of rock'n'roll music. The band originated from Canvey Island, Essex, and were formed in 1971. After becoming involved in the pub rock circuit, their first album, Down By The Jetty was released in 1975 on the United Artists label.

The Feelgoods' lineup at this stage Lee Brilleaux on vocals and harmonica; Wilko Johnson on guitar; John “Sparko” Sparks on bass; John Martin (The Big Figure) on drums.

Success continued as they released their second album, Malpractice in October 1975, and a live album, Stupidity, the following year.
