Pinpoint - Richmond 1979

Rarity from 1979. Debut single from the band pinpoint, part of the short postpunk era they recorded 3 singles and one album but this is their best.

Enjoy!

This was a brilliant debut single that they never quite matched again. The album introduced sequencers and although it has it's moments nothing matched this. This was more in tune with their energetic live performances supporting 999 on a nationwide UK tour in 1980.

@gleamingspire brilliant single - good times really it was a golden age for music.

Brilliant to hear this again - one of the funniest sets of lyrics I know

@Thrubble funny to think a £20 note back then was nearly an average weeks pay???!!!

Produced and engineered by the late lamented vic maile...who did ace of spades by motorhead

whose secret weapon was bashing 2 pieces of wood together in reverb to make a"crashing" sound LOL

oh, I love it. Die Toten Hosen did a coverversion of it with Arturo. ......*thinks*.... yeah, it's on an e.p. I used to own it.

@engineer21261 I think the late Martin Rushent had a big say in the making of the 'Third State' album. I know Arturo and Martin didn't see eye to eye over it and this led the band to split up shortly afterwards. Would like to have heard the demos before Rushent's production techniques took over.
