  • First discovered this song on the Chiswick comp Long Shots Dead Certs And Odds On Favorites. Never even heard of this group while listening the first time...and then second song on side two. Wow!! Let's take the needle up and hear this again. Wow!! It's really that good. Then had to buy the single to check if it sounded better than the lp pressing. Alas, not much difference.On a short list of overlooked, under appreciated great punk songs from 1977? You bet, mate!

  • classic bass line

  • It must've been a blast to have been around this scene when it was exploding.

  • Love this and Automobile. Fuckin' quality.

  • i can't get automobile out of my head!!!!

  • Fucking wonderful.

  • what happen to twink he would come into colchester record fair and have a cup of tea with me but have not seen him for a long time now.

  • had this back in the day was quite rare in edinburgh superb still,convert to mp3 as i write n1 tx for posting

  • @PKPurvis isn't anything?

  • This is one of the rockinest singles!

  • The sleeve of this single was taken outside my uncle Ted's record shop in Camden Town, north London. It sounds nice and raw but won't give you salmonella!!!

  • fabulon !

  • Automobile is also good

    But this is a masterpiece.

  • Kevin- this rules!

  • @PKPurvis .... of course...

  • some 1s been raidin my record collection another classic thanx for puttin this on youtube

  • fab upload, havent heard this for 30 years . Thanks

  • sounds likw so many bands at the time ,unlike the pistols,

  • Tough tune!

  • Disappointment.....cliché 'punk'...sounds like a bloody demo.

    Twink's "Think Pink" & "Never Never Land"..was much more convincing.

  • One of my all time faves ,absolutely love it

  • I'm knokin' on ur do-o-o-o-or!

    Just knokin' on ur do-o-o-o-or!.
