Red Card was the third[citation needed] and most successful studio album by the UK rock group Streetwalkers, which made the #20 in the UK album charts.[3] The album features the lineup of Roger Chapman, Charlie Whitney, Bobby Tench of The Jeff Beck Group and Hummingbird, Nicko McBrain, who later played drums with Iron Maiden and bassist Jon Plotel. This groove-heavy album [4] was released in the UK by Vertigo and in the United States by Mercury during 1976 and remains a much respected album by many.
