The Pleasers are an English power pop group. They were founded in 1977 in West London/Surrey, England.^[1] Stephen Benham, Steve McNerney, Nick Powell and Dave Rotchelle were the founding members. They released five singles; one on Solid Gold Records (released on Ariola Records in West Germany), and four on Arista Records. They contributed two tracks (“Billy” and “Rock & Roll Radio”) to the Hope & Anchor Front Row Festival LP record. These songs from their 1977 and 1978 Studio recordingswere eventually released in the United Kingdom on compact disc in 1996. Bonus tracks were releases in Japan in 2009. The Pleasers were managed by Chips Chipperfield (born circa-1943 – died 13 August 2008), who went on to win two Grammy Awards for Best Long Form Music Video as co-producer with Neil Aspinall in 1997 for The Beatles Anthology, and in 2000 for Band of Gypsys – Live at Fillmore Eastfeaturing Jimi Hendrix. The Pleasers’ records were produced by experienced record producers; Ron Richards and Tommy Boyce.
