i bought a bootleg tape years ago with this track and about another 6 or 7 others from Johnny + the Self Abusers. Sadly the quality of the tape was god awful but the songs were magic. This recording sounds top drawer....has the demo had an official release? 13 years ago i wrote to Roger Armstrong at Chiswick Records and he says they only ever received the master of the 45 although he did mention a Simple Minds demo that he described as sounding like Sweet!
Sounds like the 'Scot' Buzzcocks. Great J.T. style lead and sax solo outro! Very cool!
