The British band Oscar recorded three albums under the direction of Geoff Gill, best known as a member of The Smoke ('My Friend Jack'), producer and songwriter for Boney M and the man responsible with writing partner Cliff Wade for 'Heartbreaker' which was a major hit for Pat Benatar . Oscar hailed from Manchester and recorded at Strawberry - the studio that 10cc built. Their first self-titled record was released in 1974 on the Buk label, followed by 'Twilight Asylum' in 1976 and their final effort 'Cobblestone Heroes' in '77 on the DJM (Dick James Music) imprint. Singles were released and pub tours as well as support slots with Leo Sayer and Caravan, not to mention a stint in Turkey and Iran of all places gave the band some visibility, but Oscar never really took off in a big way and their albums are rarely mentioned these days.
