Bram Tchaikovsky

Peter Bramall (born 10 November 1950 in Lincolnshire, England), After he left the Motors to make his own music, he led an eponymous power pop band, with Micky Broadbent (bass, keyboards) and Keith Boyce (drums). Nick Garvey, Keith Line and Denis Forbes were also involved in later band lineups.

The drum break from a live performance of the song "Whiskey and Wine", a Motors track that he had covered, was used in the N.W.A's song "Fuck tha Police" in 1989.

In 1998, as part of a "British Rock" reissue series, WEA Japan rereleased both Strange Man, Changed Man and The Russians Are Coming albums on CD, using original master tapes and artwork. In addition to the original artwork and liner notes, each CD contained historical information, song lyrics and musical commentary (in Japanese). These CDs were only available in Japan and are now out of production.

Strange Man, Changed Man was re-released with more tracks, including remastered tracks, live recordings and singles that didn't perform well commercially. In December 2007, Strange Man, Changed Man was issued in the US on the Hip-O Select label (ASIN: B000ZIZ0ZC) in digital sound and with full artwork. This CD release used the original master tapes sequenced for the original US release. In April 2018, Cherry Red Records released Bram Tchaikovsky: Strange Men, Changed Men: The Complete Recordings 1978 – 1981, a 3-CD box set fully endorsed by Bram Tchaikovsky.
