Probably the Dregs' best known track in the UK is 'Take It Off The Top', when it was the signature theme to 'The Friday Rock Show' presented by the late Tommy Vance on BBC Radio One from 1978 until 1993 - he continued to use the track as the theme for similar shows he presented on Virgin Radio and VH-1 in the UK after he left the BBC.
