From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Dufour, aka "Mr. Razzcocks" or "Razzers" is a former drummer with The Libertines. He was a lot older than the rest of The Libertines, being in his 50's when the band first started out. He was replaced by Gary Powell. Famously, Pete Doherty deserted a Babyshambles gig - that later resulted in a riot - in order to lay down some tracks with Dufour, before once again disappearing into the night. Pete was told by a reporter that Dufour planned to release early Libertines material held by him, to to which Doherty replied "Fuck Razzcocks, Fuck Him!".In fact Dufour had, (considerably prior to that interview) , initiated dialogue via his legal representatives with the other 3 former Libertines (via their own representatives) with a view to having the early Libertines material legitimately released by a major label.
