@wi11ydapimp gee, i'll take that under consideration, "wi11ydapimp"

[vannyzero]

This is definitely the most important and the "punkest" single in punk rock history, by the "punkest" band ever. And it's my favourite 7" punk record ever, too.

[motherbrain86]

this makes me want to go out and slaughter lady gaga and that lady boy beiber

such raw beauty

[MrEdyoulis]

I bought a used copy of this in about 1982 and it had "Ricky James" written on the cover. I can't be sure but I think it was their original drummer who they kicked out for being a psycho. He later was in Flipper for a little bit plus The Sleepers. He died in 1994.

[mcanguish1977]

@MrEdyoulis His name was Ricky Williams, but that doesn't necessarily mean "Ricky James" isn't the same guy. And he died in 1992, on November 21st.

[vktr17]

Surprise... I thought it was a Sonic Youth song

[hkhealy]

[totaLybeetLeJuice]

[Mental1982]

This is pure awesomeness.

[midnightaria]

I like how of tempo it starts out....I just do I love this song

[redshaftedflicker]

i like this but then again i could just put on the stooges and be done with it.

[hespenria]

Now I know why they were bashed by so many critics.

[666slink]

Neat. I'd never heard the original before. Thanks for posting this.

[vannyzero]

This single was a hit in England, and was reviewed by the most important musical zines and magazines. I'm sure The Vibrators loved it :)

The first californian punk rock single EVER, and, according to me, the "punkest" record (and band) EVER!

[BCThunderthud]

Did this record make it to England at the time? 'Cos it could be a coincidence but it sure sounds like The Vibrators had heard this before they did Pure Mania.

[consityis]

[mrblifil]

Groundbreaking. Too bad the cover is better known, but Thurston was only trying to honor them.
