THE BEAT GOES ON
DETROIT—The Only Ones lived up to their name during their recent Detroit debut at Bookie’s Club 870, which was a shame: they were nearly the only ones there. All of which was the fault of unfortunate timing, surely, as their first American LP—Special View, a compilation of their two British albums—wasn’t even in the stores yet and had barely made it to local radio stations.
